Freebridge Housing Association workers set to march through King’s Lynn over pay

Union members working for a community housing association are set to strike once again tomorrow over pay.

Unite the Union members working at Freebridge Community Housing will continue their industrial action after striking just before Christmas after previously stating that they struggled to heat their homes.

The union has supported the Lynn-based organisation’s cleaning and maintenance staff through several strikes already in recent months.

Unite the Union members will be striking outside of Juniper House in Lynn on Friday starting at 9am – and then marching and leafletting through the town at 11am.

A vote of no confidence was submitted at the request of the Unite membership which raises their concerns with the senior management's position on refusing to engage over the ongoing matters under dispute.

The industrial action is said to be supported by the local Trades Council who will attend in solidarity.

Members of the Unite union continue to ask for a 7% pay rise.
