Birmingham bin men win High Court jobs battle with Birmingham City Council
BIN men fighting for jobs in the wake of a dispute which has led to piles of rubbish being left in Birmingham streets have won a High Court battle. Unite lawyers said council bosses wanted to remove a "leading hand" role - and change a four-day, nine-hour shift pattern to a five-day, seven-hour arrangement, the judge heard.Union leaders raised health and safety concerns, saying "leading hands" had responsibilities which council bosses planned to reallocate to lorry drivers.The judge heard that in July staff had begun industrial action and the dispute was continuing.Unite had also taken legal action, arguing that council bosses' redundancy plans were unfair and in breach of employment contracts.
Council bosses were contesting those claims.Union lawyers asked the judge to grant an injunction which would block redundancy plans pending a ruling on that underlying legal dispute.Several binmen were at the hearing.One hailed the judge's decision as "fantastic" and a "massive victory".The judge said the legal dispute between the council and Unite was due to be analysed at a trial in November.. 00FastNews.
