Liverpool’s Deputy Mayor has vowed to bring a resolution to an ongoing dispute with the city’s striking bin collectors.
Members of Unite employed by Liverpool Streetscene Ltd (LSSL), Liverpool Council's refuse and street cleaning arm began a six-day walk out earlier this week in a row over pay. The 80 plus workers are employed in refuse collection, street cleaning and parks and cemeteries.
The staff are also responsible for collecting household waste and managing public bins, alongside maintenance of the city’s parks and cemeteries. The industrial action has been staged as workers seek a 4% pay increase and an additional £1,000 to offset the cost of living crisis.
