We stand in solidarity with the Birmingham bin strikers and condemn Birmingham City Council for taking out an injunction to suppress the democratic right to strike and protest in peace. @labouruk.bsky.social must intervene now @strikemap.org

Birmingham was built on worker’s sweat and Birmingham and Black Country workers have time and again fought for fair terms - from the chain makers to the women who won equal pay from the council last year.

The courts must back the right to peaceful protest and not grant the injunction.

"Solidarity is a fundamental cornerstone of the trade union movement."

Read & share Steve's comment in today's press release 👇

#StrikeMap
Picture of steve, text reads: “Solidarity is a fundamental cornerstone of the trade union movement. Throughout history, employers have tried—and failed—to ban effective strikes and protests because they are powerful.” Strike Map logo, FBU logo. Picture of steve, text reads: “By seeking this injunction, Birmingham City Council has confirmed it is more interested in crushing this strike than resolving it, and is showing disregard for its own workforce. As a Labour-affiliated union, we will not stand by while a Labour council abandons the principles it claims to represent. We will be calling on other Labour-affiliated unions to express their grave concern over how this dispute has been handled.” Strike Map logo, FBU logo. Picture of steve, text reads: “It is now clear that the council and its commissioners are incapable of negotiating a settlement. That is why we are calling on the Prime Minister to step in and end this long-running dispute.”” Strike Map logo, FBU logo.
