If the offer is rejected, strikes will begin on Thursday 13 July and last until Sunday 16 July, with a further 14 days of strike action beginning on Monday 24 July.
More than 200 refuse workers employed by Bristol Waste will strike in July, Unite, the UK’s leading union, said today (Thursday).

With the real rate of inflation, RPI, running at 11.3 per cent, this is a significant real terms pay cut.
