Bristol City Council Refuse Strikes – Claim Compensation!
Bristol City Council’s sub-contractor for waste collection and street-cleansing, SITA, finally agreed a 3-year pay deal with its workers in the Unite union yesterday (Wednesday), that will enable them to end the industrial action of the last few weeks.
Waste and recycling will now be collected as normal and roads and pavements will be swept again.
But how did it get this far anyway?
Unite believes that SITA was using the recession as an excuse to effectively cut workers’ pay. The union calculated that SITA was making a healthy profit from the council, but not sharing.
Because the council services for which we pay so much each year were interrupted, we are within our rights to claim compensation.

The more of us that do it, the more likely they are to listen.
