00:01Birmingham's long-running bins dispute has reached a stark milestone.
00:05This week marks one year since an all-out strike by refuse workers began.
00:10The dispute between Birmingham City Council and the Unite Union sent us around plans to remove the Waste Recycling and
00:17Collection Officer role.
00:19Unite says some workers could lose up to ÂŁ8,000 a year.
00:23The council disputes that figure and says changes are needed in order to modernise the service and to reduce equal
00:31pay risks.
00:32Rubbish piled up across parts of the city during the strike over the past year, with recycling collections suspended.
00:39Talks have stalled for months and both sides say they want a negotiated settlement.
