00:00Birmingham marks a year since bin workers launched an all-out strike.
00:04Members of Unite began a continuous walkout on March 11, 2025 over pay,
00:10despite repeated efforts by the City Council and Union to reach a resolution.
00:15To mark the anniversary, Banner Theatre has released a single power to the bin strikers,
00:20Unite for Workers' Rights, recorded in partnership with Unite to raise funds for striking workers.
00:26One striker described it as a folk song reworked to reflect their dispute with the council.
00:31The single is hoped to remind the public why the strike continues.
00:35Council leader John Cotton says the door remains open to negotiations.
00:40Unite maintains no end to the strike without a fair deal for Birmingham's bin workers.
