Maintenance workers at the St Mungo’s homeless charity are going on strike amid claims of bullying and an anti-union culture . Twelve Unite members in the property services department will strike from April 22. The department carries out repairs at the charity’s 3,200 units including one in Oxford. The strike was called after a number of staff grievances against property services senior management were dismissed, said Unite. The union said the claims had not been properly investigated and that a workplace rep was now being unfairly subjected to disciplinary proceedings as a result of raising the initial grievance. Unite, which has more than 500 members at St Mungo’s, warned in March that a bullying and anti-union culture among management at the London-based charity needed to be addressed.

Martinsville Speedway is hosting an important test today to see if NASCAR can run on short ovals in damp conditions.
“You can’t on [a wet] oval, period. That’d be asinine and dumb,” Gaughan said. “You just can’t do it. There’s no rain line on an oval course.”
Ovals simply don’t operate the same way as road courses. From drainage issues to rubber issues, to the danger of sliding into the wall, NASCAR does not run on ovals in the rain. And although that’s not set to change, the strength of its hydrophobia may ease.
