Thousands of repair jobs are being left undone as a strike by Housing Executive workers heads into its ninth week, a union says.
Unite has dismissed as “insulting” a 1.75% pay offer the housing body has offered workers and called on the Department for Communities to intervene in the dispute.
Hundreds of workers from the Executive’s Direct Labour Organisation have downed tools, with Unite saying the “blame for this strike and the mounting backlog of repairs lies firmly at the door of the NI Housing Executive”.
