Birmingham bin strike starts in row over job roles
Available for over a year
Bin strikes have begun in Birmingham, with 12 days of action planned across four months. More than 350 workers voted for industrial action last month, with their union saying this was due to the city council's decision to "downgrade" some roles. The strikes will affect anyone who has their waste collected by the council on the planned strike days. Birmingham City Council said it was disappointed the action was taking place and it would do all it could to minimise disruption for residents.
