$2.40 no good to us—we want f4 Militant pay mood among hospital workers HANNIGAN JIMMY JE WELL has spent as a hospital ancillary worker. He is now chief shop steward for the 500 and more porters and ancillary staff at the Whittington Hospital, Archway, north London.

He is also a delegate to the national shop stewards' committee of the Health Service Unions, which represents hospital workers throughout the country in the general and municipal and public employees' unions.

He spoke to Workers Press before yesterday's talks between the Department of Health and Social Security and the union representatives on the workers' claim for a f4-a-week increase.

'The mood at present is militant,' said Mr Jewell. "This is particularly so now that the dustmen have accepted the £2.40 offer and our members feel that our negotiations will be killed stone dead.

'However, we have told them liked was the policy for getting a Labour government in with roper socialist policies. I think hat's a very good idea.' At present, Mr Jewell told us, basic pay for male ancillary workers is £20.70 a week for 40 hours. By working Saturdays and Sundays they can earn about £27. For women the basic weekly pay is £16.32; two days' overtime at the weekend brings it up to about £21.

•We're saying that the officials should go for a five-day week and that anybody who comes in Saturday or Sunday should get paid double-time.

•We're saying that there should be a standard basic week on which we can make a good living without having to work Saturday or Sunday. We think that it should be a minimum of £28 a week for both men and women.

'As far as we are concerned that is reasonable by today's standards, because if you're taking anything under that haven't got a hope.

I think that this idea of state control of wages is an attack on the basic rights of the trade unions and, more important, on the ordinary working people themselves.' Whittington hospital at present stands on a split site on both sides of Highgate Hill. A new hospital is due to be built in the grounds of one section of the old hospital.

'Because of the new building,' said Mr Jewell, 'workers are being shoved all over the place in conditions that aren't fit for pigs.

'We are understaffed. We have been working under a 10-percent staff cut since 1967.

'Originally we worked to an establishment number. That meant that a certain size of establishment had a certain number of ancillary workers. Now they say that we can have a certain amount of money and if that doesn't agree with the establishment number, we have to go short. If you haven't got enough money you can't employ the people.

*We are so short at the moment that people are having to come in on their rest days just to keep the place clean.

'And now they're talking about introducing a new scheme which they have called the Ancillary Workers Efficiency Scheme.

"This would mean very big redundancies among staff. They offered us a 40 to 45-per-cent efficiency increase, a bonus increase of 15 per cent-15 per cent was the highest bonus we would get.

"This scheme is already operating at four hospitals — Epsom, Poole, Cardiff and Castleford. They wanted to bring it in here as well, but we said no. We weren't going to accept those sort of cutbacks.'
