SHELTER AND ITS STAFF

That this House acknowledges the excellent record of the housing campaign organisation Shelter over its 41-year history in campaigning to highlight the issues of homelessness in Britain; expresses its regret at the actions of Shelter's management in seeking to impose upon Shelter's dedicated staff cuts in pay, longer working hours and the undermining of conditions of employment; expresses its solidarity with Shelter's members of the Transport and General Workers' Union currently in dispute; and urges the board of directors to work co-operatively with the union to resolve this dispute amicably to enable Shelter to continue to play its invaluable role in our society.
