Handymen working for one of Wirral's biggest social housing providers have announced strike action over new rules that could see them forced to handle deadly asbestos.
More than 100 maintenance and repair workers employed by Magenta Living will begin a week of industrial action from Monday, February 6, and have vowed to strike every other week until April 23, adding up to a total of 30 days.
People living in some 13,000 properties across Wirral have been warned to expect "severe delays in repairs and maintenance" as a result.
