A long-running strike by bin workers, that has left rubbish piling up on Birmingham's streets, will continue after union members "overwhelmingly rejected" the city council's offer in a fresh ballot.

The action by members of Unite, which began on 11 March as part of a dispute over pay, has seen thousands of tonnes of rubbish go uncollected and warnings of a public health emergency.

Hundreds of workers have been on all-out strike for a month, and residents have complained about "rats as big as cats".


The joys of a Labour council and a union in action.
 
Pile it up around the council's offices and homes. They will get the message.
 
I saw the results of a garbage strike in NYC in the 80s.....Trash was piled-up to the first story windows.

That's the union's claim that the gullible swallowed. Sack the ungrateful fuckers and start again. The role of the waste recycling and collection officer being removed will be to come up with some of the money to pay the employers NI bill that the fucktards in No 10 hiked up, that you support. You can't have your cake and eat it Deadbeat, I know Lefty's are not good with finance but give this one some better thought.

That's your answer for every dispute, sack the workers and start again, Fascism, you would have loved Pinochet like Thatcher, why would they strike if they were not being told to take a pay cut?

I'm self employed, you crying over employees has no effect on me other than -

If it's a pay cut, it means they're above minimum wage and above most others on the pay scale. So once again -

I have been self employed in my working life, why should that mean i want employed workers shit on? i remember when P&O shit on workers, i travelled many a time from Hull to Rotterdam on the P&O ferry many of the workers had thirty plus years in then they were all sacked by text one Sunday night and told they could apply for their jobs again under worse pay and conditions, i never used the Company again, any later trips i made i drove South from the North West to use Stena from Harwich, it's people like you who have allowed those Companies to get away with it.

Of course, I allowed P&O (what a retard).

Are you being thick on purpose? Work within employment law or get sued/prosecuted. Companies try to reduce their costs, government causes such companies to do things that you find mean and naughty. Such things as this shit government multiplying employment costs ten fold cause retards like you blaming me to allow companies "get away with it".

You allowed it because the filth in the Murdoch press brainwashed you idiots to blame Unions for everything, you sound bitter and twisted.

If anyone sounds bitter and twisted…..and angry, it’s YOU.
 
Unions are a cancer to economies, that's why the Left love them.
Men died to be in a Union i expect you think workers don't deserve protection from Rogue employers, people like you would still be sending ten year olds up Chimneys, what the hell is wrong with you?

They started off with good intentions.

If you work for a rogue employer and remain there, you're the stupid one. What's a rouge employer btw??

The days of sweeping chimneys has changed, I believe you have to be HETAS approved.

Back to the story. Are the bin men council employees (Nationalised) or non council employees (Privatised)?

Why should these guys lose up to 8k a year ? The unions just want a guarentee on that but the bosses wont give it.
Anyone would strike in those circumstances.
They are victims of tory cuts.

Birmingham council is Labour controlled under a Labour government, so it has been in prime condition to receive millions and billions in funding from shit Starmer. He can afford to send billions to Ukraine, why hasn't he funded Birmingham council?

Good question but i thought you would support Fascists in Ukraine, Starmer is a disgrace sending £3billion a year to the Regime in Ukraine would your Boy Farage be any different? and that clown Lammy gave the Al Qaeda Regime in Syria £50million, the fact is the whole political establishment in the UK are morally bankrupt from supporting terror against Syria to supporting Genocide in Gaza and Nazis in Ukraine.

If you search about, I've categorically said I'm not bothered with who wins Russia v Ukraine. Any equipment or money given should be done as a loan with clear terms for repayment.

The reason why Labour hasn't funded the council(s) is because money doesn't grow on trees. It's not just a Tory thing, but you and Tommy Tit think it is. So you're either a WUM are just fucking stupid. Councils are inefficient and the reason why Tit has gone quiet and you've avoided the question is that the bin men are council workers and public owned whatever never works.

The threads you guys create just continue to support that nationalisation doesn't work and Labour just do what you blame the Tories of doing. You are both thick as pig shit.
