GMB Union has today announced that planned strike action by refuse workers in Northampton has been suspended. Around 80 refuse and street cleaning workers were expected to down tools between Christmas and new year, with an over time ban throughout the Christmas period. The news comes after a refuse workers voted to accept an offer to re-start stalled pay talks with refuse provider Veolia along with a Christmas bonus scheme for workers.
Workers employed by Veolia delivering refuse services for West Northamptonshire Council will down tools in the dispute over pay and conditions.
Currently the majority of Veolia refuse workers at the depot, including drivers, loads and admin staff, earn just 3p above minimum wage. GMB union is calling for a £15 an hour wage for Northampton’s refuse workers.
