Birmingham refuse workers extend all‑out strike mandate into September 2026
Last Updated:
Unite refuse workers at Birmingham City Council have extended their all‑out strike mandate for a further six months, meaning continuous industrial action will continue into September 2026 unless a deal is reached. The dispute centres on pay cuts linked to the scrapping of the Waste Recycling and Collection Officer role. Recent large-scale pickets continue to disrupt collections citywide.
