Redbridge Council refuse workers have embarked on a two-week strike, prompted by deteriorating working conditions and a lack of proper negotiations from local authorities.
Unite union representatives claim refuse collectors are in worse working conditions than other council staff, experiencing insufficient sick pay and excessive hours compared to their peers.
General Secretary Sharon Graham criticized Redbridge Council for prioritizing profits over worker welfare, labeling their handling of workplace issues as tone-deaf and demanding immediate improvements.
Despite claims of offering extensive support, complaints from workers highlight ongoing issues with conditions and negotiations, which council leaders and RCS are still trying to address.
