The ongoing refuse workers' strike in Birmingham has entered its fifth week, with no resolution in sight.

Approximately 400 Unite union members remain on strike, resulting in over 21,000 tonnes of uncollected waste.

The strike began on March 11, 2025, due to disputes over proposed job cuts and pay reductions, with some workers facing potential annual losses of up to £8,000.

The city council's recent offer was rejected by union members, who called it "totally inadequate."

Public health concerns have escalated, with increased rodent activity and unsanitary conditions.

The council has declared a major incident and sought military help for waste removal.
