PLANNED strikes at a south London hospital have been called off after outsourced workers won a bumper 24 per cent pay increase, GMB announced today.

Cleaners and porters employed by contractor G4S at Croydon Hospital were due to walk out next Monday in a dispute over wages and sick pay.

However, the health union confirmed today that its members have voted to accept bosses’ offer of the London living wage – £11.05 an hour.
