Over 600 workers at the housing and homeless charity Shelter started an ‘unprecedented’ fortnight of strike action on Monday in a dispute over pay.<br /><br />The Unite union said a 3% pay increase this year had left some of Shelter’s staff unable to pay their rent and very worried about the possibility of becoming homeless themselves.<br /><br />The strike action started on Monday December 5 and will end on Friday December 16, coinciding with one of the busiest times of year for the charity.<br /><br />
