Refuse workers in Redbridge, east London, will strike from 1 July to 7 July, Unite union says.
Union members working in Redbridge will stop collecting rubbish from 1 July to 7 July in a row over working conditions.
A spokesperson for the council said an independent company, Redbridge Civic Services , managed the waste contract and RCS was "in the early stages of negotiations" with Unite.The union said its members had "far worse conditions than their council employed colleagues". “Redbridge council is guilty of trying to operate a vital frontline service on the cheap and it must immediately get its house in order," Ms Graham said.The union said members' workload had resulted in more staff sickness and a knock-on effect on the remaining fit staff.
"They aren’t going to stand for this any longer. If the strike is not quickly resolved it is set to further escalate."
