Full list of 22 tip sites to be hit by waste chaos over Christmas period

Veolia Unite

Merseyside is bracing for waste chaos over the Christmas period with workers set to walk out on strike.

Waste workers at 22 tip sites run by Veolia across the region will begin industrial action on Wednesday, December 28, with the initial round of action continuing until Saturday, December 31. There are then further strikes planned beginning on Monday, January 2 until Saturday, January 7 and again from Sunday, January 15 until Saturday, January 21.

The action is being held as Unite members employed by Veolia in Merseyside fight for a better pay offer. The union has accused the company of being "scrooge-like" for only offering a 20 pence increase for its workers.
