The attack on bin workers’ pay is abhorrent and unnecessary. It’s causing untold damage to the reputation of Birmingham councillors, especially @brumleader, John Cotton. It is time he got in the room and solved this dispute.

Years of austerity have cut council services to the bone while workers and communities have been asked to pay the price. And while debt-laden councils have been making cuts after cuts, they have been spending a fortune on interest repayments, mostly to the Treasury at unfairly

😡 90% of Birmingham residents say they wouldn’t accept bin worker pay cuts 😡 65% say they would strike too 😡Bham City Council & John Cotton's handling of the dispute as bad or very bad. 🗣️ Birmingham says, "we back the bin strikers!" Do you agree?

Unite has always been clear that any and all cuts to winter fuel are simply picking the pockets of pensioners while the richest in society keep getting wealthier. The winter fuel decision should be fully reversed, and money should be found instead by implementing a wealth tax

As this polling shows, the people of #Birmingham understand very well why bin workers are on strike and would do the same thing in their shoes. The sheer size of the cuts the council wants to impose on the bin workers is unreasonable in anybody’s book. ➡️ unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

🚨 Bham City Council is trying to cut the pay of bin workers by up to £8,000. This will mean people being unable to pay bills, support their families and even losing their homes. Send the Council’s leader a postcard & say ‘Stop attacking your workers’ 👉 …tbinworkers.unitetheunion.postbug.app

What would a 25% pay cut mean for you? 💸 No family holiday? 🥫 Skipping meals? 🏠 Missing mortgage / rent? That could be reality for Birmingham’s bin workers. They’re not just fighting for wages. They’re fighting for dignity. #BinStrike #WeStandWithThem Unite For A Workers' Economy

What makes this scandal all the more egregious is that it is being perpetrated by a The Labour Party council – enthusiastically backed by a Labour GOV.UK. In 35 years of negotiating huge disputes, I've never seen such a shambles. Our members can see through Labour’s spin. #Birmingham

Decision makers at Bham City Council need to get in the room and put forward an acceptable offer. Unite the union: join a union will not allow these workers to be financially ruined. We call on the decision makers to let common sense prevail in upcoming negotiations. the-independent.com/news/uk/home-n…

Birmingham refuse workers are fighting not for more money but to keep what they have. They face losing up to £8k a year! For many that means losing the car, the holiday... even the family home.
