Kirklees bin strike: Union takes new proposal to memberspublished at 11:15 British Summer Time 3 July 2018
The trade union behind this week's Kirklees bin strike has agreed to take a new proposal to its members in a bid to resolve the dispute.
Unison will recommend the proposal at a meeting at lunchtime following a discussion with the Kirklees Council yesterday.
The planned week-long strike is part of a row between the council in Kirklees and members of the Unison union.
The dispute centres on union claims of bullying and workers being refused leave to help dying relatives or sick children.
Today's strike action will continue, a joint statement between Kirklees Council and Unison says.
