Waste and street cleaning workers in Great Yarmouth are continuing industrial action as a pay dispute remains unresolved.
Waste collection and street cleaning workers in Great Yarmouth are continuing strike action as an ongoing dispute over pay shows no sign of being resolved.
Members of the Unite union rejected a 3.3% pay increase, arguing that wages should be brought into line with those paid for similar roles in neighbouring areas.
The industrial action involves refuse, street cleaning and grounds maintenance staff employed by Great Yarmouth Services, which delivers environmental services on behalf of the borough council.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council says refuse collections and other frontline services are continuing, although some disruption is being experienced while contingency plans remain in place.
The council has described the union's pay demands as unreasonable and says the increase being sought is not affordable. Unite maintains that workers deserve pay that better reflects the work they carry out and the rates offered elsewhere.
Talks between the two sides are continuing, but no agreement has yet been reached.
Residents are being advised that some waste collection and street cleaning services may continue to experience delays while the industrial action remains in progress.
