A strike by bin workers in Birmingham is set to rumble on after the latest offer by the city council was “overwhelmingly” rejected.
A spokesman from Unite said that “partial” offer was “totally inadequate” and did not properly address potential pay cuts for 200 drivers.
It comes as piles of rubbish remain stacked high on streets across Birmingham.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “The rejection of the offer is no surprise as these workers simply cannot afford to take pay cuts of this magnitude to pay the price for bad decision after bad decision.”
