Traffic wardens


Over 120 traffic wardens in Camden, north London, have succeeded in their bid for improved pay after taking 33 days’ strike action. 


The UNISON members — technically known as civil enforcement officers — are employed by a private company, NSL, on a contract from Camden council. They had been paid £10 an hour, below the London Living Wage of £10.20 an hour. 


Workers have now won a pay rate of £11.08 for the lowest paid and improvements to the “code red” policy where workers are injured or are attacked while at work.
