UNDERPAID workers at the St Mungo’s homeless charity will extend their month-long strike indefinitely thanks to a “do-nothing” approach from bosses to negotiations, their union Unite warned today.
The “momentous decision has been provoked by the ongoing indifference of management and trustees who callously refuse to acknowledge the struggle front-line workers face to pay the bills,” it charged.
After tax and deductions, the staff take home less than £20,000 a year. Many now fear for their futures, the union said, condemning the growing corporatisation of the charity sector.
