Councils in England have already settled with Unite for better terms, 4 weeks in and Cardiff Council havent even come to the negotiating table, even though the WLGA have ordered them to. As soon as negotiations begin, the strike stops. Feel free to contact your councillor and give them some shit about it.
Yup, lots of boys and girls who work on repairs are on strike as well. And you're right, GMB are shithouse.
