Homeless charity St Mungo's staff up the ante
Determined workers announce plans for 10-day strike action

FRONT-LINE staff at homeless charity St Mungo’s Broadway ramped up pressure on cost-cutting bosses yesterday with plans for an epic 10-day strike aimed at defending its quality services.

Five days after a week-long walkout a mass meeting of workers voted unanimously to do it again — and this time to up the ante.

Hundreds will strike from 8am on Wednesday November 5 until 7.59am on November 15.
