It's not a great look it must be said. Some of the criticism of a Labour council has been OTT (as far as I'm concerned they're welcome to oppose a pay rise as much as the workers are welcome to ask for one) but trying to break a strike in this way is not... great. It's Tory tactics, that.

Not even tory tactics anymore as tory councils are getting their pay rises ..

Clearly. 😂 😂

You are the one who keeps going on about the temps getting paid more throughout the thread and making a point about it.

"I dont want to get a better paid job because Id have to work more, won't get my great pension and would have to work Christmas week"

Temps get paid more because they don't get your luxuries.

No, I'm explaining to you why they are getting paid more per hour than you would.

They have managed to actually get the bins emptied the last couple of times as well!

Because they could show a bit of solidarity with people carrying out the same sort of job who are on strike for better conditions.

So the temps should refuse work? It's not going to happen, is it? People will want the work.

Better conditions? Evo has said he doesn't want to get a higher paid job because of the conditions. Just wants more money as well as the good conditions / shorter hours, good pensions, sick pay etc.

Well the temps can enjoy the ongoing degradation of pay and conditions and become like you, complaining about others having good conditions whilst being completely to ignorant as to why that is so.

Starting this week if it is your blue bin week.

They’ll be collecting both.

Round of applause for the private contractors pulling their weight.

Yes, kudos to them. Even though the pay rate still isn’t that great with those companies…

Not really, I'd just get another job...

Temps are still just people trying to earn a living. They aren't going to turn work down are they. I just pointed out that the temps "conditions" will be considerably worse than the ones you say about the permanent staff.

I must admit I’m amazed a labour council has gone down this route rather than try and resolve the issue

It’s not going to exactly improve moral at council HQ

You know you're in trouble when the Tory opposition are congratualating them on their stance!

Although it really is be careful what you wish for, as the Tories are saying this shows why bin collections should be subcontracted out...

Subcontracted out companies are giving the pay rises to be fair

Tbf i dont think the people of Coventry give a fuck anymore.

We're getting the bins collected. How it happens i dont think many give a toss, long as they are as we pay for it through CT.

Feel the goodwill period has gone

That is the divide and conquer tactic though. Get those that should be on the same side fighting each other instead of joining forces against those that make it so the drivers want higher wages/can't turn down hours.

But then the real question is why are the laws such that these shitty conditions for temp workers are allowed and thus workers are pitted against each other as one set wants better pay, the other better conditions.

Because temps are on temp contracts, they don't get the big pension, the holiday pay etc so they tend to get paid a little bit more. It suits some people to do that.

Going on about working conditions, Evo has literally said he didn't want to get a better paid job because his conditions are that good. Just wanted more money.
