I personally do not believe in strikes.
My bins are over flowing up here n Leeds, as the bin have been on strike for ages.

What do all these workers do to state their case?
An excellent question, Lucy. They only take these actions when there are absolutely no other alternatives. No worker likes to be on strike. It means there are no wages coming in and they do not qualify for benefits. But if it means they have protected their jobs and conditions and are able to put food on the table after it, it will have been worth it. Leeds City Council's attitude is, "we won't even consider talking to them, until they roll over and accept our new terms."
