Calderdale waste centre and bin collection strike is called off

The bin collection strike in Calderdale has been cancelled

Planned industrial action by bin workers and waste centre staff in Calderdale has been called off.

Members of UNISON, Britain’s largest trade union, were planning to walk out over a pay dispute with Suez – the company which runs the services on behalf of Calderdale Council.
