UNISON General Secretary Christina McAnea welcomed members from the south west to UNISON Centre to celebrate a major campaigning victory.
Members from Dorset, working across three NHS trusts, prevented the introduction of a subco that would have affected 1,700 facilities staff, including their terms and conditions, and pensions.
“Every time we’ve seen a subco, we’ve launched a campaign against it – and this was no different,” - Christina McAnea
“Dorset’s victory is a brilliant example of how organising works” - Christina McAnea
This victory is a huge win for NHS facilities staff, led by national opposition to subcos since 2017.
