Lancashire health workers on minimum wage with no sick pay strike for better conditions
"Honk if you support us," those are the words plastered on placards from health workers across Lancashire today .
"When COVID started, we all had a meeting and our supervisor at the time told us that they would be bringing in special firms to do cleans on COVID rooms, but that never happened, we had to do it and we got no extra pay. We were on minimum wage, it's basically 37.5 hours most people work. Many of the workers striking in Blackburn are employed on the 'domestic' side of the business, but the strike was also filled with porters and caterers working in the hospital. One of the OCS 'domestics' works on the weekends and attended the strike action in protest of low pay and getting better pay for bank holidays.
"On Saturday, one of my colleagues has got a full deep-clean to do on her own, because there's the last COVID patients coming off their ward and that'll take them all day."
