Rubbish and recycling collection strike suspended hours before industrial action in Cardiff

Cardiff's bin strike has been postponed at the eleventh hour after apparent "constructive talks" between the council and a trade union. The city's binmen and women had been set to strike from Friday as part of a dispute into alleged "widespread bullying" within the authority's waste services.

Following an industrial action ballot, Unite members voted by a majority of 98 per cent to take industrial action. Unite members employed by Cardiff Council would have started a six-week continuous strike to "cause widespread disruption to the city’s refuse and recycling collections".

There are now hopes that outstanding issues can be resolved so that the planned disruption does not happen. You can get Cardiff stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
