School Meals workers in Sheffield mobilise for pay equality‏

UNISON members working for Chartwells on Sheffield City Council contracts are escalating their campaign for pay equality with the council workforce.

Yesterday a rally was held in protest at the failure to apply the Code of Good Practice on Workforce Matters in Local Authority Service Contracts specifies that service providers must offer employment to new recruits on 'fair and reasonable terms and conditions which are, overall, no less favourable than those of transferred employees'
