A small number of waste, highways and environment workers at Warrington Borough Council have confirmed their intention to strike from next Tuesday, 3 October, until Monday, 16 October.
With “minor disruption” expected, members of the public are being asked to put their bins out as normal on collection days.
This strike action will affect Unite the Union members at the borough council and is related to the 2023/2024 local government pay award. The dispute is related to negotiations which are held nationally and is not about local conditions of service in Warrington.
A Warrington Borough Council spokesperson said: “We anticipate a small level of disruption due to this strike action, with the majority of expected disruption, albeit minor, affecting our waste services, though most day-to-day services are expected to continue as normal.
“We respect the national collective pay bargaining process, but we are also working to ensure the continuity of services to our residents throughout the industrial action period.
“We may not be able to provide entirely the same levels of service during this time, but please continue to put your bins out as normal for collection days. During this expected minor disruption, we will prioritise the collection of household waste (black bins) and recycled waste (blue bins).”
