«Breaking News» Strike action in Birmingham leaves rubbish left over from Christmas piled high in the streets

Bins are overflowing and litter is rotting on the streets of Birmingham after more refuse collectors voted to take industrial action alongside their binmen colleagues, leaving rubbish left over from Christmas piled high on city pavements.

Around 30 members of the union Unison will join the strike after voting unanimously to come out in solidarity with their Unite Union workmates, who downed tools weeks ago amid a dispute over legal payments.

Photos taken in the city show the rubbish left over from the festive season fouling the residential area after union and council bosses were unable to break the deadlock, as locals claim they've had no collection for seven weeks.

Members of the Unite Union, who make up more than 300 of the city's bins workforce, are demanding parity with the much smaller group of GMB-affiliated bin workers over a payment made to them to resolve a legal dispute.   

Last ditch talks failed to avert the dispute between members of Unite and Birmingham City Council on December 29, so a string of disruptive measures were implemented.

Now members of the smaller union have come out in solitary with Unite, plunging the city into more rubbish chaos with rats drawn to the area for an easy meal.

As the strike began last year, resident Lisa Cartwright, who lives in the Moseley area of the city said she has not had her bins collection for seven weeks at her block of 12 flats.

She said: 'Our collections have never gone back to normal since the strike action. Our bins have not been emptied for at least seven weeks. 

'For some strange reasons rubbish is collected from the other side of the road, which beggars belief.'

A Birmingham City Council spokeswoman said at the time: 'We are looking for any reports of missed collections from this particular address, but we will make arrangements for a collection to be made as soon as possible.

'Following the move to new routes and five-day working, our crews continue to build local knowledge to ensure the most efficient routes are used – however there are still some problems and we are trying to resolve any outstanding issues.

'Please accept our apologies if your bins are missed.'

Strike action among binmen is not new in Birmingham. In September 2017 bin workers finally suspended strike action which had taken place due to a dispute with the council over job losses.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
