Some Northern Ireland Housing Executive workers on strike are using foodbanks, a union member says (This is a correction of an earlier tweet which we have now deleted.)
Unite member Robert Boyles described the current pay offer as derogatory.Speaking from the Belfast picket-line, Mr Boyles told BBC News NI: "If you were level nine or below you would benefit.
NIHE chief executive Grainia Long said that after five days of talks with the unions in November and December, it had "put a reasonable offer on the table". "Our tenants pay for 70% of our staff salaries through their rents. In a cost of living crisis, our tenants would want to know that we are spending their money wisely."Mr Boyles, from Newtownabbey, said he was losing money but was fortunate that his children were grown-up and he did not have a mortgage.
