Colchester Hospital cleaners and porters strike
September 10 - September 14
Hundreds of cleaners, porters, housekeepers and other Colchester Hospital support staff are to stage strikes as they battle to keep their jobs in the NHS.
The walkout will also hit several community sites run by East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT), where senior managers are planning to sell off soft facilities management services such as cleaning, catering, portering, housekeeping and security.
