US EditionBirmingham bin strike could last until December
- Bin workers in Birmingham began striking in January 2025 over proposed job cuts and pay reductions, leading to mounting rubbish in the city.
- The dispute started when the council deleted 170 Waste Recycling and Collection Officer roles and informed workers of pay cuts up to £8,000 a year.
- Unite, representing nearly 400 workers, called an indefinite all-out strike from March 11, with workers voting 97% in favor of continuing action amid concerns over affordability.
- Unite general secretary Sharon Graham criticized the council for delaying a written proposal until last week, which she said was watered down and not aligned with May's Acas talks.
- The council insists it made a fair, reasonable offer and remains committed to resolving the dispute while Unite warns strikes will continue as long as needed.
