Bin workers and street cleaners in Liverpool have accepted a 10% pay rise from the city council.
Staff members represented by the GMB union make up the majority of the workforce of Liverpool Street Scene Limited, the council's refuse and cleansing company. The members have now voted to accept a 10% pay rise.
While the majority of the workforce is represented by the GMB union, some are represented by Unite. Last week Unite announced plans for a strike action that could take place next week.
