Staff at Bristol’s largest homelessness charity are being balloted for strike action, with union leaders saying they are at risk of becoming homeless themselves because they are so poorly paid.
The Unite union is balloting workers at St Mungo’s, which is one of Bristol City Council’s official providers of homeless outreach and emergency accommodation for rough sleepers, saying workers are ‘fed up with greed’ at the top of the national charity.
More than 500 workers for St Mungo’s across the country are being balloted by post with the poll ending on March 31. In Bristol, St Mungo's are one of the homelessness charities that benefit from the contactless donation points dotted around the city centre.
