Striking Workers Say Homeless Charity Has Lost Its Way Polly Smythe: Workers at homelessness charity St Mungo's have voted to take indefinite strike action, Unite announced on Monday. The strike is over the imposition of a 1.75% pay rise in 2021, increased to a "pitiful" pay offer of 2.25% this April – a real terms pay cut, given spiralling inflation. One St Mungo's worker and Unite rep told Novara Media that conversations with management had been fractious, and with a pay offer looking unlikely, "we are now in position of having to escalate as much as possible". 250 workers had signed up to the union since the start of the dispute, they said. But while the dispute centres on a pay deal, it has brought to light workers' anger that the charity has lost its way. Staff told Novara Media how they were being burned out by an organisation which has increased spending on highly paid executives and fostered a questionable relationship with the Home Office – all of which is resulting in a worse service for those the charity is trying to help.
