- last year
Over 600 workers at the housing and homeless charity Shelter started an ‘unprecedented’ fortnight of strike action on Monday in a dispute over pay.
The Unite union said a 3% pay increase this year had left some of Shelter’s staff unable to pay their rent and very worried about the possibility of becoming homeless themselves.
The strike action started on Monday December 5 and will end on Friday December 16, coinciding with one of the busiest times of year for the charity.
