"I said to the lads 'look, they're not gonna listen to us, so we don't listen to them." Danny Taylor is a rep with the Birmingham Bin strikers and the Workers Unite candidate for West Midlands. Vote for Danny and the Workers Unite slate to bring our union BACK TO THE WORKPLACE!

Fantastic turn out today in London - Division is the Bosses' Game: It wasn’t the migrant who crashed our financial system or imposed austerity. Workers must challenge the "super-rich" and "mega-profits" rather than scapegoating migrants or other vulnerable groups. #Together

The Birmingham bin strike is a disgraceful tale of a council's incompetence. The victims and those who have paid the price are the bin workers and local residents. The people of Birmingham demand a resolution #BrumBinWorkers

BLACKLISTING @BhamCityCouncil caught out once again. Seems they'll go to no lengths to break the strike and break the workers in #Brum.

Wow, this is absolutely reprehensible! Blacklisting workers for union activities is despicable and those who do it are breaking the law and must be held to account. Birmingham’s bin workers are well aware that there is something rotten at the top of the council. That’s why
🤯 You won't believe what this agency manager tells workers emptying bins in Birmingham! 😡 Have senior managers at a @UKLabour council really said they won't employ anyone who joins a picket line? Isn't that called #Blacklisting ? Shouldn't Labour-run @BhamCityCouncil be against

There is a simple way to resolve the dispute: return to negotiations based on the “ballpark” proposal that was supported by all sides at conciliation talks in July.

There's a deal to be done, it was on the table in June this year. @BhamCityCouncil need to get back to the table so we can put that deal to our members. @unitetheunion members will continue until this dispute is resolved, they have no other option but to strike. #Birmingham

✊🏽💪🏾Workers and residents in Brum City marched against @BhamCityCouncil @BrumLabour and their proposed cuts to workers’ pay. Bin workers cannot afford to lose £8,000 per year…could you?

Our huge #BrumBinStrike march in #Birmingham on Saturday saw striking bin workers and supporters sent a powerful reminder to @BrumLabour and to @UKLabour in Westminster... this problem isn't going away, and you need to step up and deal with it. We've been speaking to voters all

✊ With your help Birmingham's Bin workers will not be bullied back to work on vastly lower wages! @BhamCityCouncil is threatening to #FireAndRehire its refuse team. But our members aren’t backing down & your donations can help support the families of struggling strikers:

“@UKLabour must wake up over the Birmingham bin strikes, or people will vote with their feet.” @UniteSharon in today’s Mirror. Just 5% of Birmingham residents we polled said they’d vote Labour again. Let’s get this strike sorted. https://t.co/OZywh6sm0E

John Cotton needs to stop hiding from the biggest issue facing his @BhamCityCouncil – the bin strikes. #Birmingham residents understand exactly why the bin workers are striking: The scale of the cuts being proposed by the council are indefensible. Many of these bin workers face

John's finally got out of bed. However he seems to be still dreaming, wake up will you John!! You need unite members to accept a watered down deal while you lot have the cream. No chance get round the table and start being serious. 🚩🚩🚩✊️✊️✊️
This is what your Labour council is doing to end the bin strikes and deliver a bin service we can all rely on👇

🚨 It's beggars belief that @BhamCityCouncil has cut bin workers' pay while giving themselves a 5.7% uplift. Say NO to the cuts!

Last week @TheSelecter sent a message of support to Birmingham’s striking bin workers. As a Coventry band, we’re sure they’d support the Coventry activists supporting the bin workers by blocking scab labour being used to break the strike. They stand with those on the frontline.

“If the leader of the council went in personally to negotiate with the unions, maybe the strike would be settled. Instead, we’re seeing secrecy and misdirection.” Just where is the elusive @BrumLeader? He’s failing bin workers and Brum residents.
