Er it’s no more cost to them?
What’s that got to do with the cost to the council?
They aren’t paying their binmen that?
They just turned up on my street now finally. My uncles been taking stuff to work anyway though to be fair so wasn’t that bad.
What's that all about? The council own a commercial waste company but its not the company that empties the bins. Guess the next suggestion will be privatising the service and guess who will get the contract.
That's not the money that the binman would see in his take home paypacket, no. But in terms of pension / reward for the permanent employee I imagine it would all balance out and the cost to the council be the same.They aren’t paying their binmen that?

What a wanker that bloke isFor example, look at former council member for cluster munitions Damian Gannon.
No Damian, the only relationship it is going to break is the ones that say they are Labour members opposed to the ones that have Labour values.
Oh dear that won't go down well with the unions - we need Red Len back
Yes how dare workers engage in collectivised action
They can do that of course let’s see how it works out for them
I mean clearly you're just anti-union
Well Let’s see if their members end up better off here shall we. Could be out of a job altogether if they aren’t careful
You must be one of the lucky streets in Earsldon - Clarendon Street wasn't collected - now have to wait another 2 weeksThey just turned up on my street now finally. My uncles been taking stuff to work anyway though to be fair so wasn’t that bad.
There's a really obvious mistake here that people pretending to be in the know are making.
If you're paying for agency staff, then you are covering not only their pay rates, which are likely to be higher, but you also have to pay the agency that provides them a commission on top.
It's an expensive way to do business compared to employing people permanently, which is why it's typically used for short-term cover, or in this case by a Labour council to break a strike.
It is used for short term cover yes and not as some claim “they have to money to pay these wages”
Many companies do deliberately take this route though for many of their staff I knew someone in the same job for 10 years as a contractor
Wasn't really paying attention so might have got this wrong but I think they've said on CWR that the company the council have engaged to carry out the bin collections aren't licensed or insured for kerbside collections. Would be about par for the course with the council if they've managed to screw something as basic as that up - sure I must has misheard as that would be a basic thing to check wouldn't it?
Yea the tides turned now. Any support they had has long since fucked off.
The streets are a mess and people are rightly pissed off now. I was behind them.
Now i think just crack on lads accept defeat on this one, some people dont even have a job after covid
Speak for yourself, I'm 100 percent behind them.
Took mine and my neighbours rubbish up to Hearsall common, took 10 minutes.
Not an advert for needing them being paid more!
Not sure about the video with the stories that people have kids and hefty mortgages. I'm not sure that bit of PR has done them any favours.
What point are you making here?
That the video they put out hasn't really done them any favours.
