LIverpool Streetscene Services (UNITE) Strike Calendar

• Members of Unite union employed by Liverpool Streetscene Services Limited (LSSL) are set to undertake industrial action in a dispute over pay.
• The 80 plus workers are principally employed in refuse collection, street cleaning and parks and cemeteries. They will begin industrial action on Monday 23 January and it will end on Saturday 28 January.
• Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham said, “Our members play a crucial role in keeping Liverpool clean and they deserve a fair days’ pay. LSSL and Liverpool council can’t sweep this issue under the carpet any longer.”
• Workers are seeking a pay increase of four per cent and an additional £1,000 to offset the cost of living crisis.
• LSSL is officially a private enterprise but it is wholly owned by Liverpool council and pay rates are linked to local government National Joint Council “green book” pay scales.
• Unite regional officer Brian Troake said that the workers are taking industrial action as a last resort, as LSSL have refused to address their concerns about the decade long pay restraint and the cost of living crisis.
