Coventry bin drivers march on Coventry's Council House

CWR Breakfast with Phil Upton

Available for over a year

About 75 drivers, who are members of Unite, have been staging walk-outs in Coventry over pay and a private waste firm is helping collect bins. The strikes, which started in January, looks set to last into April as the workers call for improved wages. The Labour-run authority has said the cost of the strike had so far cost £1.8m due to a drop in income from commercial waste collections, the cost of hiring private drivers and creating the temporary collection sites. CWR reporter James Aldred reports.
