Worthing bin strike paused
Talks are due to get underway tomorrow
Bin collections have started up again across Adur and Worthing today (Tuesday 12th of April).
It follows an agreement to pause the current bin strike organised by the GMB Union as part of a dispute over pay and working conditions.
Talks will get underway tomorrow with both the GMB and the council's officially recognised union, UNSION.
Members of the public are urged to put their bins out as normal while refuse workers catch up on their workload as the talks progress.
In a joint statement the councils and the GMB said: "We have today agreed that there will be a pause in the strike which will allow for waste collections to resume and for work to remove the backlog of waste to begin.
"To recognise the extra work needed a one-off payment will be given to staff to help ensure all backlog work is completed as soon as possible.
"Substantive talks on pay and conditions will begin tomorrow."
