Bins are being collected over the festive period in Wirral after strikes were called off following a Christmas Day summit.
More than 200 Biffa employees on the outsourced Wirral Council waste collection contract were set to escalate their industrial action with strikes over the key period between Christmas and New Year and again in January.
Having already carried out a period of strike action earlier in December, Biffa staff who are members of the Unite union were set to walk out again from today (December 28) until Saturday December 31. The plan was for more strikes to then be held between January 3 and 7 and January 16 and 21.
