Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Charity workers who are on the streets helping the homeless are now prepared to go on strike for a month for a decent wage. The charity increased a 1.75% pay offer to a “pitiful” 2.25%, the union said. Members of Unite at St Mungo’s will walk out from May 30 to June 26 after rejecting a pay offer. Staff at a homelessness charity will stage a month-long strike in a dispute over pay. ![]()
