"Birmingham's ongoing bin strikes could persist beyond next May's local elections, Unite the union has warned, following an "overwhelming" vote by workers to prolong their industrial action. The dispute is set to escalate further as agency staff, employed by Job & Talent on the refuse contract, will now join directly employed Birmingham City Council workers on official picket lines from December 1."
"Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: This is a real escalation in the dispute with agency workers now joining picket lines due to the terrible way they have been treated by Job & Talent and Birmingham Council. Birmingham Council is spending a fortune it doesn't have on a dispute that could easily be resolved by agreeing a fair deal for workers. Unite claimed a growing number of agency staff are refusing to cross the picket lines of striking bin workers because of unsustainable workloads (PA Wire)."
Coverage spans issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, with investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes fact-based reporting, refusal to use paywalls, and reliance on donations to fund journalists who report across the political spectrum. In Birmingham, bin workers voted overwhelmingly to extend industrial action, and agency staff employed by Job & Talent will join council workers on picket lines from December 1.
