Members of the Unite union have been striking for a month in Birmingham, resulting in significant waste buildup in the city as negotiations continue. The union has accused Birmingham City Council of implementing pay cuts that unfairly burden workers. General Secretary Sharon Graham criticized the council's actions as punitive and unjustified, suggesting they are a consequence of financial mishandling. With talks scheduled with the conciliation service Acas, there are hopes for resolution, although the union remains firm on advocating for fair wages against government and council pressures.
Members of Unite union have been on strike for the last month leaving thousands of tonnes of rubbish piling up on the streets of Birmingham.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham stated, "Today's actions show clearly that Unite has been correct all along. Birmingham City Council is taking money off workers to pay off their debt to the Government."
