Unite says bin strike deal closer if council puts public promises in writing
Rubbish bags are taken away on Poplar Road in Birmingham, Aril 16, 2025
THE Unite union called out Birmingham City Council today over the ongoing bin strike negotiations, warning they would be much closer to a deal if the authority “put in writing what it is saying in public.”
More than 350 refuse workers have been on strike since March 11 over plans to cut the vital role of waste recycling collection officer (WRCO).
According to Unite, it will lead to 150 of its members having their pay slashed by up to £8,000 a year.
