A strike in the second largest city in the United Kingdom that leaves the garbage high

A decent smell of rotting garbage fills the air. Puffy bags of high garbage pile, some leakage of festivals contents. With parts of Vermin city, one of the residents claimed that he was bitten by mice.

Through its heritage as a manufacturing power and its proud civil history, Birmingham loves to call the second city in Britain.

Now, it is the capital of garbage in the country.

The confrontation between the amazing rejection workers and the city’s officials left an estimated 17,000 tons of garbage accumulated in the streets of the city that attract mice, foxes, cockroaches and bets. On Monday, the Birmingham municipality announced it was a “big accident”, which allows it to reach more resources from the government and other nearby areas.

Some garbage groups are still happening and the city was able to keep many areas, including the center, free of garbage. But in many residential areas and gardens it was very clear on Wednesday.

In Small Heath, a neighborhood from the city center, black plastic bags had accumulated at the end of some streets, and people from other areas added to chaos by throwing an unacceptable garbage.

Javad Javada, 51, a connection driver who was originally from Iran, said while he was wandering in plastic garbage boxes that line up on the classification of plastic garbage boxes that line up on the Mlimisbury classification, a delivery driver who was originally from Iran, while in the past he was walking in the past plastic garbage boxes that lined up on the category of Mlimisberry.

He said: “Of course, at night, if you come after 10 o’clock, you will see many mice.” “So much that cats do not chase them.”

Barakat garbage in Birmingham caused an unpleasant smell in the British Parliament, where Jim McMahon, a minister of the ruling Labor Party, warned of the risks of public health, and one of the legislators in Birmingham, Brett Core Jill, said that the component had written to say “they have been bitten by mice.”

One of the opposition legislators, Julian Lewis, compared the situation with a famous strike in the gathering of garbage in 1978 during industrial turmoil under the government of the Labor Party James Calman. The period known as “Winter of Winning” became, and the following year the Labor Party lost general elections, which led to Margaret Thatcher power.

However, this conflict is limited to Birmingham, where more than 350 limited workers began in January, when last month escalated to an unlimited full blow.

John Couton, commander of the Birmingham City Council, said in A. statement.

Workers’ union members claim that the restructuring plan that the municipality pushed It will leave about 150 workers Up to 8,000 pounds (about 10400 dollars) per year. The council opposes this, saying that “the number of employees who may lose the maximum amount (less than 6000 pounds) is 17 people.”

While the two sides remain clogged, the results were clear on the Malmisbury road where black plastic bags were moistened on both sides of the street and in an alley in the middle of the road. Some population began despair to take the garbage to the landfill.

While he was carrying about 20 bags in his car, Shakil Ahmed explained that the garbage had accumulated for three weeks outside his house and in his garden.

While driving to the waste attachment, Mr. Ahmed, 69, remained a retired train manager, on open windows and apologized for the smell in his car, adding that he would clean it professionally after depositing the garbage. He said, philosophically: “If you get angry, it will not solve the problem.”

At the center of rejection and recycling in Tisli, a few miles southeast of the city center, others had a similar story about the unpleasant, satellite and damage to the city’s reputation.

“We cannot open the window because of the smell, it’s nonsense everywhere – it is ridiculous,” said Robina Yakop, 43, who describes the situation in Stehsvord, in East Birmingham. Her car is new and her trunk lined up with a sheet before loading it with 10 bags of garbage. “Look at my car!” She said, referring to the chaos made by the garbage.

Some have this option, including Robert Show, 60, a school cleaner, who found himself living next to an increasing pile of rejection bags on the Hinishu Road. “What the council told us is that we can take it to Tesili,” he said. “But if you don’t have a car, how can you take it?”

The crisis forced some of the city’s residents to be innovative. Tasnima Tafader, who sits under the sun in Morris Park, was waiting for her three children to collect from school, how her husband called their relatives to find a space in their boxes for some family garbage. His mother came.

Then, when a truck arrived at about 7:30 am one morning, the residents went out of their homes to load bags from the street to the truck.

In another warehouse in Tysleyy, attackers gathered the gates in front of the trucks, and delay their flights by walking in front of them at a spiral pace for several hundred meters.

Lee Haven, a member of the UNITE Syndicate, disagreed with the city that there is no worker “who needs any money”, on the pretext that the planned changes may cost about 600 pounds per month at a time when families’ bills rise sharply.

The assets of the conflict lie in 2023 when the Birmingham City Council She mainly declared itself bankruptPartially as a result of the equal wage cases brought by the workers, and began implementing the long run Discounts to services.

As part of the restructuring plan, the municipality now wants to cancel one position in the rejection teams, known as the recycling and assembly officer in waste, which it says is not present in other municipalities. Workers in this role can take voluntary repetition or move to another position.

She says that simplifying the wage structure is very important and that maintaining the role will risk “creating a great responsibility in the future on an equal footing,” but he rejected requests for explaining the cause exactly.

Mr. Haven said: “There is a feeling that we are a scapegoat,” and about 10 police officers looked at. “I think that the regular working class family in this country will understand that no one can bear a loss of 600 pounds.”

Even while stumbling in their streets, some of the city’s residents sympathize with the refusal university.

“I do not blame them because I do not think that their wages should be cut,” said Zeenat Hussein, 53, a director of health services from Salley. “What they do is a basic function.”
