Tower Hamlets Council to end waste strike early
For the next few weeks, they will be joined by private waste contractors employed by the council to catch up on missed collections and street cleaning as quickly as possible.
Unite the Union workers had been striking for up to four weeks because of a national pay dispute which was being negotiated on a national level by the union. Unite the Union workers at some other councils had also balloted to go on strike.
“I want to thank all parties for coming to this agreement and, in particular, I want to thank our residents for their patience and apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.
Lutfur Rahman, Executive Mayor of Tower Hamlets.
