The bin strike chaos plaguing Birmingham could soon be coming to towns across the UK, as the Unite union threatens to roll out walkouts in other councils following a breakdown in pay negotiations.

The union claims many councils face similar financial pressures, and if workers see their wages slashed like in Birmingham, more action is likely, reported the Express.
