Liverpool City Council did not sack anyone when it hired taxis to hand out redundancy notices “to its own workers”, as if it might have handed them out to anyone else. Those notices were an accounting device. No job was lost.
Today, though, 60-year-old George Wilson has become the first binman to suffer compulsory redundancy after he had refused to accept a pay cut of around £7,000. By Birmingham City Council. A Labour council. A Labour council.
Since March, that council has been breaking the ILO Convention on Private Employment Agencies by using agency workers to break a strike, in this case a strike by the members of a trade union affiliated to the Labour Party. Since November, those agency workers have also been on strike.
