This week, we had the privilege of hosting Luke and Mike, two incredible striking Unite the union: join a union Birmingham Bin Workers, at the General Federation of Trade Unions's Biennial General Council Meeting (BGCM). BGCM was resolute in their support for the strikers. Victory to the Brum Bin Strikers!


"Whoever it is, that is on that line. You stand with them because that is the Frontline" 🎤 The legendary Pauline Black OBE DL The Selecter(2-Tone) supported the Brum bin workers at last night's #Glasgow QMU gig.

😡 90% of Birmingham residents say they wouldn’t accept bin worker pay cuts 📷 65% say they would strike too 📷Bham City Council & @brumleader John Cotton's handling of the dispute was bad or very bad

Huge support for #BrumBinStrike across Oscott and Sutton Vesey wards this week... residents are telling us: 😲They're staggered that council leader LeaderofBirmingham isn't negotiating 24/7 to find a solution 😡Massive resentment that unelected commissioners may be interfering 🗳️If


How can a The Labour Party council and a Labour GOV.UK preside over these pay cuts and claim they are the party of workers? The recent local election results are a warning to Labour that the anger is becoming more widespread. The party needs to change course. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Would you accept a pay cut of £8000? 90% of Birmingham residents would not. It’s time for Bham City Council LeaderofBirmingham John Cotton to take notice and turn up to negotiations to find a fair solution!!



Labour ministers are targeting low-paid bin workers while cosseting billionaires. “I have never seen such a shambles” says Sharon Graham Well, have you? 👀 unitelive.org/i-have-never-s…

On Friday, Fire Brigades Union hosted striking #BrumBinWorkers. With a donation and collection in the room, FBU donated £6,400 to the strike fund. The union movement is behind the bin workers. Victory to the Brum Bin Strikers! Steve Wright #BirminghamBinStrikes #StrikeMap





Two thirds of Birmingham residents think that Bham City Council & LeaderofBirmingham have done a 'bad' or 'very bad' job of handling the bins dispute. Isn't it about time John Cotton showed up to a meeting and negotiated a fair deal?
