Hospital security staff strike called off
The disruption of services followed the mounting of early morning pickets at the hospital’s main entrance by employees of Sentry Security. The firm has lost its contract with the hospital to rival company Secureway, resulting in a number of job losses.
Secureway took over the contract from 7am yesterday and, in a show of solidarity with the striking SIPTU members, colleagues who are members of ATGWU and TEEU refused to pass the picket and left hospital management with no option but to cancel scheduled operations.
