Stung by their employer’s decision to ban access to Facebook during their work breaks, staff at Medway Hospital have voiced their protest by, you guessed it, starting a Facebook group.

On a slightly less arch note, you can also join a Facebook group to support the staff at Fremantle Trust in their dispute against an employer who have slashed pay and conditions after taking over the public sector care contract from Barnet Council. Unison rep Andrew Rogers has been sacked in the latest twist to this long running dispute, so please join the group and take this online action.

I remember writing an email of complaint to their Chief Exec Carole Sawyer many months ago, and getting back a remarkably snotty reply, so it’s not a great surprise that they’re trying to intimidate LabourStart, who are running the action. The LabourStart activists aren’t backing down, but their ISP got cold feet after a letter from Fremantle, and told them to remove the campaign, which is now back up on another server. Sign up now – they can’t sue us all 😉
