@unitetheunion.bsky.social remains open to return to negotiations to resolve the dispute, however the council refuses to even meet. Instead, the council took the decision to brutally #FireAndRehire workers to force them onto lower pay rates.

The whole of our union supports @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social striking bin workers.
Council leader @cllrjohncotton.bsky.social has not attended a single negotiation and Angela Rayner, who is responsible for government commissioners, is complicit in the #FireAndRehire of these workers.

The disgraceful actions of the government and a so-called Labour council, is essentially #FireAndRehire and makes a joke of the Employment Relations Act promises.
People up and down the country are asking whose side is the Labour government on and coming up with the answer not workers.

😡Blacklisting workers is despicable!
Birmingham's bin workers are well aware that there is something rotten at the top of the council.
That’s why they’ve been striking for nine months over ruinous £8,000 #FireAndRehire attacks on their wages.

The recent amendment by govt to the Employment Rights Bill, that allows councils in debt to #FireAndRehire their workers shows what is really going on at @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social.
Council workers are being lined up to pay the price for years of austerity.

Last year, @Morrisons made £3.9bn profit.
Now they are wanting to cut 400 jobs at their Rathbones bakery site in Wakefield.
We're backing @BFAWUOfficial members calling on CEO Rami Baitiéh to stop the cuts.

Fire and rehire is appalling exploitation that needs to be banned outright.
Pemberton Asset Management is wrecking its reputation and business ties by pursuing fire-and-rehire at Oscar Mayer.

💬@GOVUK will come to realise that not introducing an outright ban on #FireAndRehire is a mistake. The new rules will continue to allow the most unscrupulous firms to use this disgraceful practice. Fire and rehire should be banned outright - no ifs or buts. 3/4 ⤵️
