We are demanding an end to poverty wages of £7.88 per hour for cleaning and security staff working at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Greenwich.
We are calling on Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust to:
- Demand that the ISS Group pay staff a London Living Wage
The private contracting company the ISS Group employs hospital cleaning, portering and security staff at the Queen Elizabeth and many other hospitals across the UK. The group announced profits of over £500 million in their 2017 annual report, yet they continue to pay poverty wages to staff who play a key role in helping to support the running of our NHS.
We want to put pressure on the Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust as we believe staff supporting the running of our NHS hospitals deserve better.

This is a truly disgusting way to treat anyone let alone essential NHS staff - and neatly demonstrates the dangers of privatising NHS services
We are concerned that contracted staffs such as cleaning ans security staffs at Queen Eluzabeth Hispital are nit getting pais decent wage that is a London wage. This hospital covers lewisham, Greenwich Nd beyond ans their staffs deserve more.
People before profit. How can it be justifiable for a public service to allow staff servicing the hospital to be paid so poorly yet have so much profit. Bring the cleaners back in house.
It's kind of modern slavery to keep in nowdays staff with this miserable income! What about these months with Coronavirus, with high risk and these staffs work in first line near doctors and nurses? Sad!
They need this money big time I sore a few members with holes in trousers and tops and one couldn't afford lunch such a shame with all the hard work they do
They should get more money as they do a good job
More taxpayer money possibly going to tax havens and sucking resources from our local economy.

All services should be provided by the NHS by Direct Labour. There is enough evidence that the private sector does not provide better quality, They are there for profit, so the pay and conditions of staff are always worse than the NHS. Royal Borough Greenwich has a policy of the ' London Living wage.
