Leeds refuse collection dispute – employer delays talks‏

UNISON has expressed disappointment after Leeds City Council delayed talks to resolve the long running dispute abut pay cuts.
UNISON regional organiser Tony Pearson said: "It means that there is yet another delay to negotiating a fair and just settlement to this strike, but they are adamant that they have to seek top-level legal advice before they can respond to the unions' proposals on grading of posts in the service. Our members and the people of Leeds will just have to wait even longer to get this service back into operation and cleaning up our streets”
