Havering bin workers have reached breaking point! 🗑️

Low pay and poor conditions have pushed workers to the limit.

While workers earn barely above minimum wage, FCC profits from its outsourced services contract.

We asked locals: is this fair? 👇 @unitetheunion

[Unite London & Eastern @UniteLondonEast]

With inflation at 3.1%, could you afford a 13.5% pay cut? 📉

The Forest School in Snaresbrook charges over £10,000 a term for secondary pupils, yet is cutting the contracts of the workers who keep students fed and the facilities safe and clean by 7 weeks.

For ballots closing on 17th- last chance to have your say! #FairPayForCouncilWorkers

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

It seems the council’s leadership would rather let residents, businesses and tourists suffer a summer of rubbish than address the deeply unfair poverty pay rates these essential workers are expected to survive on. The only ones thanking the council for causing these strikes will be the seagulls and the rats. Strike action can still be avoided, but that will require an acceptable offer.

[Unite London & Eastern @UniteLondonEast]

The people who keep your streets and beaches clean deserve fair pay. We're calling on @greatyarmouthbc and Great Yarmouth Services to get back around the table and resolve this dispute.

Council workers keep our communities running every single day 🤝

From collecting our bins and maintaining our streets to supporting children in schools and caring for vulnerable people - they deliver the services we all rely on.

After years of below-inflation pay deals and pay freezes, they're now being offered another real-terms pay cut.

Unite national officer for local authorities Clare Keogh shares why after years of being ignored, workers must use their voice 📣

Stand with council workers as they fight for the fair pay they deserve.

They keep Great Yarmouth streets clean, work in some of the toughest conditions imaginable, and some are paid just pennies above minimum wage. All they're asking for is a decent wage they can actually live on.

Great Yarmouth's bin collection and street cleaning workers will begin strike action on 6 August.

[Unite For A Workers' Economy @UniteEconomy]

The future of adult social care is critically important and we can't keep kicking the can down the road.

The cost is impossible for local authorities to bear, workers are underpaid and overworked, residents face subpar care, while care companies make a fortune at the taxpayers' expense.

That's why Unite's retired members have launched our Stand Up For Social Care campaign, calling for fair funding.

🚨 BREAKING: ITV reveals secret plans to sack striking Birmingham bin workers

Great Yarmouth bin and street cleaning workers have voted overwhelmingly for strike action over poverty pay.

Around 100 workers will strike over a 3.3% pay offer from council-owned Great Yarmouth Services.

With a new council in charge of Birmingham City and a deal back on the table, bin workers and the local community are ready to get this deal done – for their livelihoods and for the future of the city #GettheDealDone 📣

We spoke to bin workers Wendy and Dean along with National Lead Officer Onay Kasab 💬

🪧 STRIKE

Great Yarmouth’s pay offer is slap in the face to workers that do hard dirty work in rain, wind or oppressive heat to keep the town clean and tidy. They have Unite’s total support in striking for a fair deal. 1/2
