Refuse collection workers at Birmingham City Council have started voting in an industrial action ballot, following an overspend by council bosses of £9.7 million.
Britain;s largest union, Unite, has been involved in a consultation with managers of Birmingham city council’s waste management and refuse service over job cuts to the city’s service.
Unite has since learned that the service overspent its budget by £9.7 million in the financial year for 2016.
Lynne Shakespeare, Unite regional officer, said: “We engaged with waste and refuse bosses in a constructive manner only to learn that it was a massive overspend which is driving these cuts and not austerity measures. To date, despite repeated requests, we have not been given any information as to how and why such a huge sum was overspent in a year.
“Instead bosses are ploughing on with their cuts leaving workers to pick up the pieces for their financial mismanagement and taxpayers out of pocket. We would urge management to begin listening to the workforce and to start talking meaningfully with Unite to avoid the prospect of industrial action in the coming months.”
