Strikes hit Compass Medirest - again!‏

Hundreds of workers took strike on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week for the second time in a month. Domestics at Southampton Hospital - fighting for thousands of owed back pay - and ancillary workers at High Wycombe and Amersham - fighting for sick pay and other elements of Agenda for Change - again took to the picket lines to continue their campaign.
