"Our members still have not been offered a decent pay uplift, leaving them no choice but to take strike action."
"The discussions remain between FCC Environment and its staff and are not within the council's jurisdiction. But we would like to see both sides come to a swift resolution so that any pay increases can be paid in time for Christmas."
GMB Union members who work in refuse collection and grounds maintenance in Waltham Forest voted 97% in favour of strike action over a pay dispute with employer FCC Environment, which provides services for Waltham Forest Council. Planned stoppages are scheduled for 10–12, 17–19 and 22–23 December and for 2 and 5–9 January. The action raises the prospect of rubbish piling up in parts of east London over the Christmas period. Waltham Forest Council expressed disappointment at the lack of resolution to long-running pay negotiations and urged a swift settlement so any pay increases can be paid in time for Christmas. FCC Environment has been approached for comment.
