ISS workers' pay victory
Cleaning staff at Lewisham Hospital who have taken strike action over unpaid wages have won.
Workers first downed tools in February after private contractor ISS failed to pay numerous staff members due to an "administrative error".
ISS has now made the wage payments in full - with back pay - which brings the cleaners' hourly rate of pay up to £10.55 an hour.
