Livv Housing workers to step up strikes throughout February
Repair, maintenance and call centre staff took strike action in October, November and January.
Staff at Knowsley-based Livv Housing are escalating their pay dispute, with strikes taking place throughout February, Unite and UNISON said today.
Repair, maintenance and call centre staff took strike action in October, November and January.
The February strike, beginning on Monday 3rd February and running to Friday 28th February, will be the longest yet, with staff walking out across the entire organisation.
The unions warned that more than 13,000 homes will be affected.
The employees rejected a 5% pay rise, claiming that it failed to reverse the real-terms pay cuts they have endured previously.
Livv Housing, which manages properties primarily in Knowsley, reported reserves of £110.6m in March 2024.
Additional strike dates will be announced if the dispute remains unresolved.
Sharon Graham, general secretary at Unite, said: “After years of below-inflation pay rises, Livv Housing workers have had enough.
