Unison says workers employed by private firms should not miss out on 3% pay rise given to NHS staff
Cleaners, porters, catering assistants, security guards and other health staff employed by private companies should receive the same pay rise as NHS staff, union leaders have said.
Unison said private firms and subsidiary companies owned by individual NHS trusts should increase hourly pay to at least match new NHS rates (Agenda for Change), which are as yet unconfirmed.
