Golders Green care home staff to get wage rise after long-running dispute

The union representing the majority of staff at the Sage care home in Golders Green is hailing an imminent pay rise as “a victory for pandemic heroes”.

For over a year, the United Voices of the World union has been in dispute with management over pay, with strike action taken in support of their claim.

The union alleges that management had “ignored all attempts by UVW to engage in meaningful, good faith negotiations”.

Staff have now been told that from next month, no one will receive less than the London Living Wage (£10.85 an hour). According to the union, some workers are currently on an hourly rate of £8.91.
