people take these kinds of jobs for granted- even look down on them, until they remind everyone of how important their labor is

Don't forget something : when they will decide to stop this strike, they will be the one to get out these garbages. And it will be rude. They know it. During the Covid, they did their job, with courage. We stand with them.

BREAKING: After French President Emmanuel Macron decided to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, the French took to the streets rioting and protesting to show their displeasure. This also happens to be the Republican’s plan in the United States. They want to raise the age that Americans can get social security all the way up to 70 years old. In 2022, they released a proposal to do just that! Take note Republicans: Americans, like the French, will not approve.

Birmingham's refuse workers should not face pay cuts of up to £8,000 - as much as a quarter of their wages. A fair deal for workers - that would be good news for residents too - has been possible. But with unelected commissioners blocking it, the Government must now step in.
