Hundreds of workers at Britain’s biggest homelessness
charity have started a three-day strike in a protest about working conditions
and the treatment of vulnerable migrant rough sleepers whose details the
charity shared with the Home Office. Staff at St Mungo’s have gone on strike
after a year-long dispute about the charity’s sickness policy and concern about

200 staff have joined the strike – the first at the charity since 2014. Workers
fear the staffing policy opens the door to a cheaper workforce on worse pay and
terms and conditions. Read more on the Guardian website.
