Bin men in Manchester say they are prepared to 'picket until Christmas' after voting to go on strike over an 'offensive' pay offer worth just 17p more an hour. Up to 220,000 homes could be affected by the strike lasting 11 days from May 3 with a further two weeks of industrial action scheduled to start on May 23.

Ben and his partner moved into a house share in Trafford Bar with another couple earlier this year because they cannot afford their own place anymore. They want to start a family soon, but are struggling to save with inflation rising.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service spoke to several members of staff at Biffa, all of whom said they are feeling the
