On August 23, the Pall Mall manager at the hospital was sacked by the company. This may be a sign that the company is weakening, but the campaign of solidarity and protests must be stepped up.

This vigil officially organised by UNISON between 10 am and 2 pm (some days until 4pm) will be at 4 Grosvenor Place, SWI (Hyde Park Corner and Victoria are the nearest tubes).
