STAFF will go on strike at a care home in London this week to demand a living wage.
The three-day walkout of care workers and cleaners, the first at the Sage nursing home in Golders Green, will begin on January 15 after attempts at negotiation failed.
Staff, who are represented by the United Voices of the World (UVW) union, are demanding £12 per hour in wages, increased sick pay, and more annual leave in line with NHS standards.
