Workers were on the move in central Manchester today, Friday, as strikers from Mears housing came to the town hall instead of mounting a picket.
Around 50 Unite members rallied at the town hall where they had been told bosses would be meeting with councillors.
The former council workers are employed by contractor Mears to maintain council homes run by arms-length management organisation (ALMO) Northwards.
They are on their third week of a four week strike for pay parity, after weeks of discontinuous weekly strikes.
After rallying at the town hall, workers marched around it. Then, sick of being ignored by the mainstream media, they marched through the city to the offices of the Manchester Evening News.
