One worker said 'It’s a kick in the teeth to be honest with you.'
Morale at an NHS trust is reportedly “the lowest” staff have seen it amid a dispute over controversial changes to car park charges.
A letter from the trust to workers said this was “to ensure that staff car parking charges do not impact the income of our staff who are subject to this wage standard.” However, Unite the Union in a letter to the trust said it was “abhorrent and disgusting” and the trust “is trying to hide the fact it is paying staff below the minimum wage.”
Mr Jones said the issues, which he said had also been reported at other trusts in the region, had in some cases "forced staff to take out interest free loans." "It's a kick in the teeth to be honest with you. We have kids. We have got to get our kids to school and we haven't got the luxury of using public transport. It's very underhanded and very very sly."
Another worker who spoke to the ECHO said: "We could get better pay in the Card Factory. Some of our colleagues have children working in McDonald's earning more money." A Wirral University Teaching Hospital spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, this is a national issue as the recent increase in the National Minimum Wage has been announced ahead of the nationally set NHS pay awards. This has created issues for some of our staff.”
