Islington Labour is committed to fighting for fair pay, not just at the Council, but across our contractors and in the private sector.

Cllr Richard Watts and Cllr James Murray were proud to support staff at homelessness charity St Mungo’s Broadway in their dispute with management over outrageous proposals to cut their terms and conditions, when Unite members were on strike in October (pictured below).

After successful negotiations between the union and management, agreement has been reached to avoid a second strike and will mean that new employees will receive the fair pay they deserve. 

After joining the strike in October, Cllr Murray and Cllr Janet Burgess wrote to the Chief Executive of St Mungo’s Broadway demanding answers about the disgraceful proposals that threatened employees’ terms and conditions. 

Islington Labour would like to wish a huge congratulations to the St Mungo’s Broadway staff and Unite for their successful campaign.
