Bin strike blocks a Birmingham waste depot as a significant incident declared
A serious incident has been declared in Birmingham over an ongoing bin strike, which has left round 17,000 tonnes of waste on the streets of town.
Birmingham City Council mentioned the "regrettable" step was taken in response to public well being issues, with picket strains blocking depots and stopping waste automobiles from gathering garbage.
Members of Unite have been on all-out strike since 11 March in a row over pay, which the union claims will depart some members of workers £8,000 worse off. A collection of walkouts have additionally impacted refuse collections since January.
