I had heard about strike in the radio while I was on my way to work, but it was one of those things were you hear it & don't think too much of it. I didn't realise it was this bad, I thought it was one of those strike for a day here or there, but from what I've been now reading & seen in your link, it's an ongoing strike that has lasted weeks over significant paycuts by the Birmingham City Council.
Also read a couple of articles in papers that one of the MP's for the BCC angered his constituents badly because he reportedly spent last week campaigning for the British Government to pay to build an airport in another country. Keep in mind, this is all the while the actual city he was elected to represent looks, no pun, like a rubbish tip & he's one of several MP's that run BCC that really should be focusing on little else but trying to come to some form of agreement with the Union(s) to get the refuge collectors paid fairly & back to work.
