Unite in ForViva

HOUSING association workers across the north-west of England have voted overwhelmingly for strike action.

The Unite members who work for the “progressive landlord” ForViva – a housing association with over 24,000 properties to its name – are demanding a pay rise to £28,500 for tradespeople and a 5 per cent rise for office staff, who earn between £17,000 and £26,000 a year.

This has been the final move of the exasperated workforce who have not received a pay award in the past three years.
