Bin collection workers in Wirral have announced 15 more days of strike action - resulting in mass cancellations in the busy period following Christmas and New Year.
More than 200 Biffa employees on the outsourced Wirral Council contract will escalate strike action at the end of the month after their calls for a 15% pay increase were not met by the waste management company.
The announcement follows five days of strikes from December 5 to December 10, which resulted in the cancellation of household and public bin collections and street clean-ups.
