YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBirmingham City Council Leader, Councillor John Cotton, has told Sky's Shamaan Freeman-Powell he is "keen to get a resolution to the dispute", as the city deals with an ongoing bin strike.
Members of Unite have been on all-out strike since 11 March in a row over pay, which the union claims will leave some members of staff £8,000 worse off.
A series of walkouts have impacted refuse collections since January, leaving tonnes of rubbish on the streets.
Mr Cotton says he "understands how difficult it is for the people of the city" and he wants to "find a negotiated settlement" to end the strikes.
