WITHIN Coventry and Warwickshire, two acrimonious disputes are taking place involving refuse workers who are members of Unite the Union and their local government employers.
In Coventry, the bin lorry HGV drivers have now entered their 21st week of strike action, after coming out on a wintery January 5.
In Rugby, the refuse drivers, carriers and street cleansers took strike action starting on April 26, originally for two weeks, but management intransigence led to the strikers extending the dispute until at least the middle of June.
