The union representing Birmingham's striking bin workers has broken its near-three-week silence on ongoing negotiations aimed at ending the action to blame the city council for the lack of a deal. A Unite spokesperson also blamed government-appointed commissioners, who have been overseeing the council's operations since its effective bankruptcy, for the apparent lack of progress.

Bin lorries have been blocked from leaving a waste depot by striking refuse workers in Birmingham as the city's bin strike continues. Gates at the Atlas Depot, Tyseley, were relocked just after 06:30 BST on Thursday with crews seen leaving their vehicles. Striking workers restarted their tactics of delaying trucks as they left depots on Tuesday, stepping aside only when police intervened. Birmingham City Council posted on social media that some bin collections could be disrupted on Thursday.

Bin lorry drivers in Birmingham could have their pay cut by up to £8,000 under new proposals, their union said, as the city's bin strike enters its eighth week. Refuse workers belonging to Unite started an all-out strike on 11 March, in a standoff with the council over proposed changes to roles and resulting pay cuts. Unite said on Tuesday that, under new council plans, bin lorry drivers' pay could also fall from £40,000 to £32,000.
