HUNDREDS of workers at a London NHS Trust have demanded that staff whose jobs were outsourced to a privateer are taken into direct employment.

Underpaid porters, cleaners, caterers, security guards and receptionists working for St Barts NHS Trust have suspended two weeks of strike action pending a key board meeting of the trust, due to happen on Wednesday.

The strikers are employed by highly profitable multinational outsourcing firm Serco.
