"It's taken far, far too long": Unite Union react to end to Coventry's lorry drivers strike

CWR Breakfast with Phil Upton

Available for over a year

The Unite Union's told BBC CWR that Coventry City Council's behaviour doesn't bode well for the future, after a deal was finally done to end a strike by bin lorry drivers. The 7 month long strike ended with a deal the Union say is worth close to a 13 percent pay rise. The City Council say it's not the Grade 6 level drivers had asked for. But Onay Kasab from Unite the Union has told Phil Upton on CWR Breakfast that the drivers have got Grade 6 level pay in all but name.
