Staff at a homelessness charity will stage a month-long strike in a dispute over pay. Members of Unite at St Mungo's will walk out from May 30 to June 26 after rejecting a pay offer. The charity increased a 1.75% pay offer to a "pitiful" 2.25%, the union said.
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. This shows what they think of the way they've been treated by St Mungo's management.
"The pitiful pay offer has just made everyone in the union angrier. So if the management at St Mungo's want to avoid a month-long strike they have the answer in their own hands.
