Unite

Unison says further talks with the publicly-owned company will be held to avert a strike on Tuesday.

The talks on Thursday will see conciliation service Acas included in negotiations for the first time.

The Unite union says bin truck drivers could be moved down a pay grade under new council proposals.

Drivers across the south and west of Scotland were due to begin a series of walk outs this week in a dispute over pay.

Unite has threatened legal action after the firm cancelled driver's annual leave on strike dates.

Birmingham City Council posts on social media that waste wagons have been held up at some depots.

A former chief executive says when organisations call in Acas it means parties are "actually now looking for a solution."

Drivers across southern and western Scotland will take industrial action on a series of dates in May.
