Residents of a London borough face the threat of a bin strike after refuse workers in a pay dispute backed industrial action. The GMB union said it will now formally ballot members who work in Richmond, in the south west of the capital, on industrial action if contractor Serco does not bring forward a revised pay offer by Friday (October 24). GMB said Serco had not presented anything concrete to bin staff working in the borough, despite pay talks stretching back to April.

This is not where we wanted to be. We have spent the last week in talks with government, pressing the health secretary to end the scandal of doctors going unemployed. We know from our own survey half of second-year doctors in England are struggling to find jobs, their skills going to waste whilst millions of patients wait endlessly for treatment and shifts in hospitals go unfilled.

Thousands of Tube staff are to carry out the network's biggest strike for three years, with the worst of the disruption expected Monday to Thursday.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has described the proposed 3.6% pay increase for nurses as 'grotesque', expressing deep discontent over disparities in pay increases among public sector workers.

Unite's strike is driven by a pay dispute, with members at Heathrow earning 10% less than their Gatwick counterparts, impacting essential mobility services.

Stagecoach West Scotland have not improved their pay offer in six months. The drivers are being asked to fund a pay rise by working longer hours, taking longer unpaid breaks and losing a week of annual leave. This is simply unacceptable, and it will not be tolerated by Unite. Widespread and prolonged industrial action is set to hit bus services across the west of Scotland because this company doesn't seem capable of listening to its workers.
