SUMMARY:London | Strike rally with outsourced workers
DESCRIPTION:Via United Voices of the World \n\nMeeting point: North end of Queen Square\, London WC1N 3AU\n\nJoin the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) security guards for a rally to support their fight for equality after more than seven weeks of strike action. The predominantly Black\, brown and migrant security guards are now the only workers at the hospital who are not on NHS contracts and this has to change now! \n\n\nThey are fighting back against a two-tier system and have been taking strike action to have their voices heard! During their struggle against structural racism they have been subjected to a draconian injunction\, union-busting and vile racial slurs. \n\nLet’s make sure the wealthy GOSH trustees hear us loud and clear. If they can do it for the cleaners\, they can do it for the security guards! End racist outsourcing at GOSH!

SUMMARY:SOSNHS National Day of Action 26 February

SUMMARY:Care and Support Workers Organise! Public Meeting 22 February  2022 at 7pm
DESCRIPTION:Tackling the crisis in social care: we must value workers to ensure future service\nThe staffing crisis in social care is nothing new. Before the pandemic\, analysis from The Office Group (TOG) illustrated that social care was the most stressful industry to work in as workers tend to work longer hours and report more cases of work-related stress\, depression and anxiety. We demand systemic change for a better social care service for all. \nClick here to register for this event\nSpeakers: \nEmma Dowling: Sociologist & political scientist Emma teaches at the University of Vienna. She is the author of The Care Crisis: What Caused it and How We End It. Her book looks at the years of austerity and financialisaton that led us to our current crisis point and points us in the direction of a more caring and equitable future. \nLarry Sanders: is an American-British academic\, social worker\, politician\, and former Health and Social Care Spokesperson of the Green Party of England and Wales. \nStella Noakes: Former Care Worker and CaSWO activist. Until recently Stella was a domiciliary care worker. Despite loving her job\, a lack of opportunities for career progression and low pay forced her to make the difficult decision to leave the sector. Stella will discuss her experience working in social care and what she feels needs to be done to stop us losing skilled and passionate workers. \nSteve North: Salford UNISON Branch Secretary\, UNISON NEC Representative for the North West and former Community Mental Health Support Worker: Steve was involved in the campaign from Salford Unison and the city’s socialist council that won care workers a national pay rise worth £19 million. He will explore how to we tackle the staffing crisis through Trade Union strength and building strong links with progressive Local Authorities. \nClair Glasman: WinVisible is a multi-racial community group of women with visible and invisible disabilities: polio\, sickle cell anaemia\, osteo-arthritis and mental health issues\, from different backgrounds: asylum seekers\, refugees\, other immigrants\, UK-born \n\n

SUMMARY:Support G4S workers' protest at Croydon Hospital 31 January
DESCRIPTION:Meet at 12 noon outside London Road Entrance (not A&E entrance) Monday 31 January.  \nPorters and cleaners at Croydon’s Mayday Hospital are to staging a protest on 31 January after  private NHS contractor G4S stopped paying Covid-positive hospital workers’ occupational sick pay. \n\n \nPatients at risk: porters and cleaners are not receiving covid sick pay \n\nThe employers refusing to pay staff for covid absences has led to the GMB union to call on the Croydon NHS Trust to cancel G4S’s contract because of the massive risk to public health that the pay policy creates. \nWith staff – many of them on very low wages – being denied sick pay\, many feel forced to come into the hospital when they have symptoms of the potentially deadly virus because they cannot afford to take time off to self-isolate. \n“Our hard-working members are sick and tired of being abused and exploited by G4S\,” GMB spokesperson Helen O’Conner said. \n“They are on poverty pay and to add insult to injury they are being denied wages if they come down with covid. \n“These members have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic at great risk to themselves and their families and they are demanding fair sick pay so that they do not put patients at risk from cross-infection. \n  \n“If G4S is not willing to ensure that their staff and patients are as safe as possible during a pandemic\, they cannot continue to hold the contract. \n\n \n‘Insult’: GMB’s Helen O’Connor \n\n“We are now calling on Croydon NHS Trust to take this contract back in-house and pay these workers the sick pay they need and deserve.” \nThe GMB protest will be staged outside what is sometimes referred to as Croydon University Hospital on London Road from noon on Monday\, January 31. \n

SUMMARY:No Borders in the NHS: Week of Action
DESCRIPTION:(Via Medact) The Hostile Environment is turning the NHS into the new frontier of border control. Join us as we take action against patient charging and demand an end to borders in the NHS! \nHostile Environment immigration policies are undermining the founding principles of the NHS. People are turned away from the healthcare they need. People are turned away from the healthcare they need. Immigration checks are becoming normalised in receptions and wards across the country. NHS hospitals routinely share patient data with the Home Office. People are harassed by debt collectors for huge bills they will never be able to pay. \nWeek of Action\, 23 – 27 October\nPeople all over the country will take action across five themed days: \nSaturday 23rd: Remember and Resist!\nWe begin by remembering and honouring all those whose lives have been destroyed by racist Hostile Environment policies. October 23rd marks four years since the introduction of upfront charging for migrants in the NHS\, and two years since the deaths of 39 Vietnamese migrants who were found in a lorry in Essex.\n \nJoin campaign groups across London and beyond who will be holding street stalls and vigils: \nLondon: \n\n12 noon – 1pm | Lewisham Hospital A&E\, SE13 | Save Lewisham Hospital Campaign\, Lewisham Refugee and Migrant Network and Lewisham Citizens\n12 noon | St. Mary’s Hospital\, Oxford Road (opposite Whitworth Gallery)\, Manchester\, M13 | Greater Manchester Patients Not Passports\, Manchester Keep our NHS Public\, Medact Manchester\, and The Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit\n12 noon | Whitechapel Underground Station | Tower Hamlets Keep Our NHS Public\n12 noon | Dalston Farmers Market\, St Paul’s Church\, N16 | Hackney Patients Not Passports\, Hackney Keep Our NHS Public\, Akwaaba\, and Feminist Fightback\n6pm | Walthamstow Town Square\, E17 | Waltham Forest Patients Not Passports\, Waltham Forest Save Our NHS\, and Waltham Forest Migrant Actio\n\nManchester: \n\n12 noon | St. Mary’s Hospital\, Oxford Road (opposite Whitworth Gallery)\, Manchester\, M13 | Greater Manchester Patients Not Passports\, Manchester Keep our NHS Public\, Medact Manchester\, and The Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Uni\n\nSunday 24th: Free for all Forever: No to Privatisation! \nThe introduction of Hostile Environment immigration policies into the NHS goes hand in hand with a wider project of privatising our healthcare system and erosion of its founding principle: that healthcare is a right and should be available to everyone\, regardless of ability to pay or where you’re from. \nWatch out today for an article on the impacts of the Health and Care Bill\, and help us share Docs Not Cops’ video outlining what is happening to the NHS. \nMonday 25th: Solidarity Knows No Borders: End the Hostile Environment \nToday we stand in solidarity with everyone impacted by the Hostile Environment and the racism of border controls. From schools\, to housing\, to healthcare\, the Hostile Environment seeks to destroy lives and undermine access to vital public services. \nToday we will highlight that the immigration system is not broken – it is violent and hostile by design. We will stand with all campaigning for an end to the Hostile Environment in its entirety. More info coming soon! \nThere will be street stalls around the country to engage with NHS staff about the Hostile Environment and how it will impact their work\, and to invite staff to get more involved in movements for migrant justice: \nLondon: \n\n7:30pm – 9pm | St Thomas’ Hospital\, Westminster Bridge entrance\, SE1 | With Lambeth and Southwark Patients Not Passports\n\nSheffield: \n\n4pm | Royal Hallamshire Hospital\, Sheffield\, S10 | With Medact Sheffield\, The Justice for Simba Campaign\, South Yorkshire Migration and Asylum Action Group\n\n\nNewcastle: \n\n8am – 9:30am | Monday 25th Royal Victoria Infirmary\, Newcastle\, NE1 | With Keep Our NHS Public North East and Medact North East\n\nTuesday 26th – Organise To Win\nThe Hostile Environment seeks to turn those who  care and support the most marginalised in our society into border guards. This is what we must remember when we build our campaigns against racist immigration controls in our public services. The Department of Health will only listen when we organise in our workplaces and in our communities\, to raise collective awareness about what is happening under the Hostile Environment and together refuse to be complicit in this system. \nJoin one of the street stalls or leafleting sessions taking place at a hospital near you! \nLondon: \n\n7:30am – 9am | St Thomas’ Hospital\, Westminster Bridge entrance\, London SE1 | With Lambeth and Southwark Patients Not Passports.\n\nLeeds: \n\n7:30 – 9am | Leeds Infirmary\, Jubilee Wing main entrance\, Leeds\, LS1 | With Leeds Keep Our NHS Public\n\nBrighton: \n\n7.45am and 4.45pm | Royal Sussex County Hospital\, BN2\n4.45pm | Millview Hospital\, BN3\nTime TBC | Princess Royal Hospital\, BR6\nTime TBC | Eastbourne District General Hospital\, BN21\n\nWednesday 27th – No Borders In Healthcare\nToday we join forces across the country to make our message clear: no borders in healthcare. The NHS must treat #PatientsNotPassports. \nIn Liverpool\, campaigners from Merseyside Solidarity Knows No Borders will be out in the town centre talking to people about the impact of NHS charging and how to join the Patients Not Passports campaign: \n\nMidday | Liverpool Town Centre (close to Iceland on Kensington) | With Merseyside Solidarity Knows No Borders.\n\nIn Bristol\, there’ll be a demo in the town centre calling for an end to NHS Charging and the Hostile Environment: \n\n7pm – 9pm | The Sails\, by Primark\, Broadmead\, BS1 | With Bristol Patients Not Passports and Bristol Medact\n\nWe’ll let you know how to participate online on the day! Get in touch at info@act.patientsnotpassports.co.uk to help get the message out on Wednesday morning.
