Council leader calls for Birmingham bin strike talks to resume Councillor John Cotton urges the Unite union to reopen

In this article it says the council walked away from negotiations in July, and is now calling for talks to restart... 8 months later?!? WTF have they been doing, have they (and the union) made no effort to sort this since then? That is ridiculous #Birmingham #BinStrike www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Birmingham bin workers defiant on the picket line Workers said they had not waged a year-long fight to accept a lump-sum payoff that fails to compensate for their major loss of earnings, legitimizes downgraded roles, and paves the way for unsafe work...

“It’s a rogue council, and it’s a rogue government. They’re hiding behind the equal pay issue”

Third “Megapicket” held in Birmingham refuse workers strike as union bureaucracy appeals to Starmer As with the previous events staged in May and July last year, the performative “solidarity” on show was a bogus affair, lacking any genuine mobilisation of the working class.

Birmingham's bankrupt council squanders £14M+ on agency 'heroes' to bust the bin strike - only for 82% of them to join the picket! 
-> Pay cuts up to £8k? That's fire & rehire on steroids. 
-> Time for Labour to stop the rot & back workers!

It's bin day. The tension is palpable. Last week they took 2 bags from the wheelie bin and left the rest. Really not sure what's going to happen today. #binstrike

Solidarity with everyone else in Birmingham who is still taking their recycling to the tip instead of just binning it

It's a good feeling when it's all gone
