I find Mark Turner (GMB) a very irritating little man who loves to grab a headline.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

How will we know the difference.

Just doing his job, representing his union's members. What else is he supposed to do?

On a positive note, the rats and seagulls will be happy with the extra pickings available as the rubbish builds up

News like that makes me glad I'm not living off St. James Street any more.

The mess down there over that weekend is bonkers even when the bin men are working.

No, the first walkout was last week - it's why our bins haven't been collected

I do apologise, having re read the article it does say their first day of action is Monday 29th July!

That's the official walkout, last Friday they walked out unofficially.

Anymore than 8 months of calm down at that depot and he’s in their sniffing around for disruption, I have a mate that is a bin man down their before you ask.

Deep Joy Bin Men - Striking Again

Sounds like an 80s synth pop track.

Typical - the union have a gripe (which as far as being reported appears to be a minor disagreement), the council digs its heels in and the residents end up paying the price. At least it’s not the people who mow the parks - you wouldn’t know if they were on strike or not.

Surely you remember the 70s? It was quite easy to spot.

Yup. Full stinking bins about to be ravaged by foxes, rats, seagulls and Students. My road will soon be dumpsite like it always is when they strike.

For a City that is supposed to be 'Green' the recycling rate/policy in B&H is terrible.

Very powerful these unions, they decide who they want as leader of the Labour Party, a percentage of their members subs go’s towards “The Cause” and their puppets at the council roll over and let them tickle their tummies bless them.

Heaven help B&H if our core essential services like baristas, estate agents and web designers ever decide to go on strike #prayforcity

I say find out where your local councillors live and drop a bag or two on their front door.

So having read that article, I can't see any insurmountable problems, it seems more like a personality clash. Please, please, take a breath, stop talking about red lines and communicate like adults
