Successful Campaigns

The trust stepped in and really pressurised the private company (ISS). The reduction in staffing numbers they proposed in the beginning was drastically reduced, and they only let a few people go in the end, and most of these were people were wanted voluntary redundancy for whatever reason. This is a massive reduction from the 89 proposed in the beginning. They made no cuts to security staff. However in the catering department ISS proposed that they would start to cut the canteen at 2.30pm during the day and that it wouldn't be open on the weekend at all any more - a disaster in a 24 hour working hospital! We started an internal campaign about this.

We have some good news! Earlier today Damian Green, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, announced that housing benefit caps for supported housing will be deferred until 2019/20.
