Women's aid workers to begin indefinite strike action from Valentine’s Day over job cuts
United Voices of the World members at Solace Women’s Aid, January 2025

WORKERS at Solace Women’s Aid will begin indefinite strike action from Valentine’s Day over job cuts they say threaten life-saving services for domestic abuse victims.

The London-based charity workers, who are members of the United Voices of the World (UVW) union, voted unanimously in favour of industrial action last week after management refused to scrap plans to cut their team by a third.

The workers call on Solace management and Tower Hamlets Council to urgently meet them for talks to stop the February 14 strike.
