Bin workers have been told they are not allowed to drink and other staff told they shouldn't "have fun" at the weekends, it's been claimed. It's been alleged that those working in the recycling services have been subject to rules that govern their free time.
The claims were made by a Labour councillor at a Staffordshire scrutiny meeting. Councillor Charlotte Atkinsc said one worker on the outsourced bins service was told that, as he'd been injured, he "shouldn't be enjoying himself at the weekends".
According to Councillor Atkins, the Staffordshire worker was advised against "having a bit of a jig". And she said that another worker - a driver - had been warned he shouldn't drink alcohol at any time, StokeonTrentLive reports.
