Ongoing'We deserve better after a year of all-out Birmingham bin strike'
7 HR AGO
Householders describe recycling piled up in homes, sporadic waste collections and rat problems.
UK deal arrives as Birmingham waste strike passes one year, while US unions at PCC, JBS and CBS News 24/7 prepare walkouts
Specialist phlebotomists at Gloucestershire Royal and Cheltenham General hospitals have ended a 350-day strike after voting to accept a pay review deal, bringing the longest industrial action in NHS history to a close. Following talks with Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, staff secured a commitment for an independent job evaluation panel to review pay and roles, and for the trust to recognise the specialist nature of the work. UNISON had argued the current Band 2 classification undervalued the responsibilities of taking and handling blood samples. The trust declined to comment on the resolution, and staff are due to return to work on Monday.
In the UK, Birmingham’s bin workers mark a full year of all-out strike with no negotiations reported, as recycling remains suspended and agency staff collect general waste. In the United States, more than 2,000 Portland Community College faculty and support workers could walk out as soon as Wednesday if talks fail, and thousands at JBS’s Greeley, Colorado plant prepare to strike next week; the company says it would shift production until workers return. Separately, CBS News 24/7 writers issued a strike pledge after their contract expired, and Columbia University student workers authorized a potential walkout.
With a UK healthcare strike settled, ongoing municipal action and multiple U.S. strike preparations across education, media and meatpacking could affect essential services and food supply in the coming days.
