HAVE YOUR SAY: Do unions have too much power as Birmingham bin strike rages on? COMMENT NOW

Striking refuse workers in Birmingham have rejected a partial deal offered by the Labour-run authority as the month-long strike continues to leave thousands of tonnes of rubbish piling up on streets.

Speaking to GB News, Minister of State for Industry Sarah Jones said "People have enough problems that they have to deal with without having to worry about where their bins are being collected, so this needs to end."

Jones delivered a message to Unite "Call off the strike. Accept the deal that's on the table, it's a good deal - and that's what we ultimately believe needs to happen now."
