Birmingham refuse workers’ all-out strike continues; mandate extended into September 2026

Last Updated:

Minor Waste collection (refuse workers)

Unite members employed by Birmingham City Council in waste and recycling remain on all‑out strike, which began on 11 March 2025. In February 2026, workers voted to extend their industrial action mandate by six months, so the stoppage continues into spring 2026, severely disrupting refuse collections across the city.

This alert was originally created on 8 March 2026.
