Bin workers begin indefinite all-out strike

An indefinite all-out strike for bin workers in Birmingham is under way, as rubbish continues to pile up in the streets.

This isn't the first action taken on by collectors - they have been striking on and off since January following plans to downgrade some staff and reduce their pay.

Bin workers are walking out over pay, conditions and the loss of a key job role.

This bin strike is affecting more than 400-thousand households, many of whom have already been waiting weeks to have rubbish collected.
