    The classic problem up and down the country!
    Rubbish wages , Treated like crap , spoke down too by management.
    More more more work thats all there interested in! But they always forget the pay and conditions.

    I am a dustcart driver
    Firstly what do you expect working for Veolia UK
    Respect and honour is what we expect mostly from The residents
    Because you pay your council tax
    But its workers like myself who get up at 3,30am
    And work in all weather conditions during the epidemic snow rain ice and extreme hot weather
    Glasgow and derby have now gone on strike
    And I support MU fellow workers
    FK em go on strike

    When most of the country were at home, isolating and anti-viral cleaning everything that came into the home, these folk were 4 or 5 up in bin wagons EVERY WORKING DAY. I personally knew two refuse workers that died from covid, if they had worked in a different industry they would probably be alive today.

    Wait so is the issue about pay or not? A GMB spokesperson said that wasn't something they specifically asking for. The line I keep hearing is that they were asked to work different routes and that this was somehow dangerous.

    Bin men are useless these days. Back in the day when bins had no wheels, the bin men would literally pick a bin up in each hand & empty them & just do their job. These days, you'd think they were a bunch of tiktok users, crying because the tiny bin has 'too much' to push it on it's wheels or that the bin is at the wrong angle & needs turning 90°. They're job is that pointless now that they may as well just start having one guy per truck & save more money.
