Bid to stop truck blocks backed by the High Court
Birmingham Mail
|May 30, 2025
THE High Court has backed a bid to stop pickets blocking bin trucks getting out of Birmingham's depots to collect rubbish 'indefinitely'.
An interim injunction granted last week has now been ratified by the court and will continue.
It is intended to ensure bin lorries can get out of the depots every morning without being held up by striking workers and should end disruption for residents.
Unite the union has agreed to abide by the ruling, but says it is reserving the right to go back to court to dispute the order in future.
Yesterday the trade union launched a billboard campaign urging the deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner to intervene in the Birmingham bin dispute in order for a deal to be struck to end the strike.
