Fair Pay for All NHS Workers at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals

Support striking workers

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Trust (LUHFT) must overturn its unjust decision and ensure that all workers who served during the COVID-19 pandemic receive the NHS Lump Sum/COVID Bonus. 

Why is this important?

More than 130 porters, cleaners, and catering staff at Royal Liverpool University Hospital and Broadgreen Hospital are currently on strike, fighting for what they are owed. 

These workers, previously employed by ISS to perform essential roles such as catering, portering, and domestic services, were transferred to LUHFT in April 2023. 

However, the trust claims that because these workers were not directly employed by the NHS at the time of the pandemic, they do not qualify for the bonus that their colleagues have received.

These workers were on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, risking their health and safety to keep our hospitals running smoothly. Their contributions were vital, and yet they are being denied the recognition and compensation given to their colleagues who performed the same duties.

Those excluded from the payment are among the lowest-paid in the NHS workforce. They have faced financial hardship every day, and this decision exacerbates their struggles. 

Our NHS workers deserve to be treated fairly and with respect. To deny them this payment after their sacrifice and dedication during the pandemic is unacceptable. 

Add your name and demand LUHFT pay these workers what they deserve.
