Wirral's bin workers secured a significant pay rise after successful strike action which ended today with a deal.
More than 200 Biffa employees on the outsourced Wirral Council waste collection contract walked out on strike earlier this month and were due to hold further strikes across the busy Christmas period. The action was suspended this morning and all further strikes cancelled today after a new pay offer was accepted.
The deal came about after the Unite union and representatives from Biffa held Christmas Day talks with Wirral Council leader Janette Williamson. It means collections have resumed across the borough today.
