Bin collection services and leisure centres in Mid Ulster are to face widespread disruption for the next four weeks as council workers go on strike.
The strike action began on Monday when Mid Ulster District Council said 40% of bin collections were affected, adding that the Dungannon area would be the most 'adversely impacted'. Disruption is expected until Sunday 21 August, as the council said bin collections would be ‘heavily impacted’.
The industrial action comes as a result of a pay dispute between the council and UNITE the Union. A spokesperson for the local authority said the strike comes despite a ‘significantly enhanced pay offer’ being offered to workers.
