Bin men kept going through lockdown

I have read some of the comments made by residents on the RBWM Facebook page regarding the bin men strike.

I am amazed at their short memories. Who continued to work during the lockdown so that we didn't have to call in pest controllers and be surrounded by rubbish?

It is an unpleasant task at the best of times and one that few of us would like to take on.

Yet they continued to work in a very difficult situation.

How would you feel if people in the next town, doing the same job, were receiving an hourly rate that could be a much as 20 per cent more than you?

It is understandable that they feel they need to take a stand.
