Is Birmingham's year-long garbage strike finally coming to an end? Council leader's hopeful message
A long-awaited piece of good news could be on the horizon for Birmingham residents. The city council's new leader has signalled that the year-long garbage strike is finally coming to an end. He says a solution to the long-running standoff is now 'in sight'.
Background to the long-running crisis
The strike was sparked by a dispute between Birmingham City Council and trade unions over pay and working conditions. As a result, residents have been left in a state of abject misery over the past year as rubbish piles up on the city's streets and waste is not regularly removed. Despite repeated concerns about the health risks and the city's unsightly appearance, no effective solution has been found for a long time.
