GB News: Wrexham bin workers follow Birmingham's lead to strike over pay and poor working conditions
Bin workers in Wrexham have voted to strike over imposed changes to their working conditions and overtime payments, mirroring ongoing industrial action in Birmingham. The Unite union reported that 71% of affected members supported the walkouts, set to begin on August 23, with multiple strike dates planned through November.
The dispute arises from Wrexham Council's decision to replace voluntary overtime with mandatory weekend shifts, which Unite argues will reduce workers' earnings. The council defends the changes as necessary for financial stability, claiming they were consulted adequately. The union plans additional strikes during the Christmas period if the issue remains unresolved.
