GMB can announce that Brighton’s city clean refuse, recycling, commercial waste, and com-bin HGV drivers have voted overwhelmingly to take strike action.

"Council happy to allow dispute to escalate into full blown strike action even at risk of deeply upsetting residents", say GMB Union 

"It is disappointing that our members have to undertake this process and appreciate the public’s upset especially as the Borough has recently increased its Council Tax for residents",…

We can’t see a way forward unless the Council is prepared to spend some of its spare income, say GMB Union

GMB call on everyone to show our appreciation for those caring for others, tonight at 8pm

"Waste Operatives need protection too, and the public can help with this", say GMB Union

"GMB Members remain ready to talk but to be clear they remain ready for action if ignored" says GMB Southern

“This is a good result for the members, and really shows what results you can achieve when you stand together, united against your employer”, says GMB Southern

“Amey are stating they cannot afford an increase, but in reality they are bidding for contracts they cannot run or manage properly”, says GMB Southern

“Biffa are now refusing to talk to the GMB locally and therefore we have no option other than to take direct action to protect our members", says GMB Southern
