Bin Strikes to Spread ?15 Apr 2025 07:12
“Bin workers are poised to strike across the country, union sources have warned.
Unite, one of Britain’s largest trade unions, is considering a series of walkouts in the event of any further pay disputes like the row in Birmingham.
Workers are embroiled in similar disputes in Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire, and some Unite staff in Sheffield are already on strike.
It comes with no end in sight to the bin strike in Birmingham, where Unite members overwhelmingly rejected a second offer from the council as their walkout entered its sixth week.
The vote will be seen as a humiliation for Angela Rayner, the Local Government Secretary, after she pleaded with union bosses to accept the deal.
Critics claimed that Unite voting against the deal showed Ms Rayner and Sir Keir were “the puppets of the unions”, while council bosses called the decision “incredibly disappointing”.
Same old Labour. Rinse and repeat.
Who voted for these morons ? Not me…….
