- 'Disgusting! People react to Edinburgh rubbish chaos as bin strike takes hold. Bin chaos which has made Edinburgh resident's lives a misery has spread across Scotland, as refuse collectors in other major cities including Glasgow and Dundee join the strike. The industrial action has made Edinburgh an 'international embarrassment' as rubbish has piled high (pictured) whilst the city hosts the Fringe Festival. From today, staff at 13 local authorities, including Glasgow, Dundee, and Aberdeen, will join those in Edinburgh and strike over a pay dispute. Trade unions were offered a 5% pay rise, but this was described as an 'insulting' amount in the face of the cost of living crisis.

Be smart, move the rubbish to the governments front doors and dump it there. The French did that years ago and it worked.
Yea, then the government remembers next time.
“We Have Guns and you don’t”
The Scottish Government gave the Edinburgh Council, which is run by Scottish Labour, cash to give the binmen their increase, but they refused to hand it out.
@@kobk225 edinburgh not alabama idiot
@@PYDPIPER Off to Labors frontdoor then.
If they couldn't move it to landfill how can they get the people to move it to the government HQ. Bottom percentil IQ thinking right here.
Same should be done over energy prices. People power. We need to stand up for ourselves in life and stand United.
Now you know what binmen are actually worth, they should be paid accordingly. Striking is normal.
What about bin women?…….oh yes equality does not apply in backbreaking manual Labour…only management and indoor jobs.
BIG YES!!
Jokers
@@BongWeasle where did that come in
Council tax is an extortion racket. Scrap the f****** council and like the free market do its thing.
To be honest it shows you the great job the guy's and girls do normally and should have their concerns and pay and conditions addressed immediately.
No. They do an adequate job that they are paid for. This is blackmail, and they should be ashamed.
@@Thega720 why don't you try living off the low wages they get and come back to me when you know what you are talking about.
@@Thega720 you should be ashamed of your selfish ignorant opinion.
The bin men around here barely do their job. Abandoned bins left in the middle of the streets blocking buggies and wheelchairs, missed collections, and overflowing bins in parks. To be honest this situation isn't much worse than when they are working. It is a low-skilled minimum wage job. Aldi is currently recruiting and pays the same if you want a change of job. Blind support of strike action as usual. What about the other council workers earning below living wage? Do they get ignored?
There are many many people struggling, but because the bin men create a public health hazard we should give them more money. What about the folks that can't pull such a stunt?
Disgusting? I am more disgusted at the way we treat workers who perform services that are essential to the functing of our country!
amen.
That’s disgusting
Probably not as disgusting as the job itself and the pittance of a wage that hardly pays the bills that's the really disgusting part.
Only been offered a 4 or 5% pay rise being a bin man myself i don't blame them for going on strike, stay out until you get what you want
O aye. 1970's all over.
They already get decent pay!! Care workers only get 10 pounds an hour
You should be supporting the workers
Fire them all
I am supporting them but it would have been nice if the tourists had gone home with nice memories of our beautiful city
@@normamcneill151 agreed with you 200%
Here in Seattle they make 6 figures. A lot more than we make. We have recycling trucks one week, garbage every week and compost another week. All different trucks, etc. We're all feeling the inflation.
Seattle is a Woke crap hole
Great job Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP. They can’t even sort out the simple task of emptying bins. She has to go. She is a disgrace.
It’s a shame Edinburgh is such an amazing city. Hope it gets sorted and yes salute to the rubbish collectors that do an amazing job. It’s not pretty how it is without them 🤢
There are other citys too like glasgow loom at the pics
It's funny how people are blaming edinburgh council saying it's tories fault. So why is glasgow like this in a lot of parts without bin strikes and shock horror glasgow had rats too.
We do have a strike in Glasgow
The tories offered a joke of a pay rise
Could it be due to the residents ?
Do Scottish councils not come under Scottish parliament ?
id be more disguted that as a society we make so much rubbish so quickly
you have absolutely no idea...on an average day a small city will put out anywhere around 40 tons of rubbish.
I pick between 100 and 150 houses and average between 3 and 4 tons per day.
Public sector strikes should not be a thing. They’re not strikes against the government or local councils. They usually hit the public that pays for their wages.

@@dylanstevenson5737 is that supposed to offend me or what? XD
@@BBountyHunter It got a responce didn't it? but i'm sorry, we interrupted you whilst you were busy proposing slavery for the council workers you were clapping for a couple of years ago, please do go on.
@@michaelcoward1902 *response.
Hardly slavery. They’re always free to change their employment. They would have done so a long time ago if the job was that terrible. And no, I wasn’t participating in some dumb and pointless stunts. They weren’t the only people working during the first lockdown.
I live in Edinburgh and they're also striking teachers in schools and it's been rubbish everywhere
I don't know how much they make but if they have to go on strike to get a decent wage then that's what has to be done and people should have solidarity for them instead of criticizing them if they are hard-working people .
I remember decades ago as a 9-year-old girl walking in the pickett circle holding a sign when it was freezing cold out in the winter in the evening when my Dad and others were picketing against greedy General Electric in Philadelphia .
They've been offered 5%, which isn't that bad. The problem is, thanks to the genius governments around the UK, inflation is running at well above 10% at the minute.
Edinburgh is a beautiful city and the tourists are not seeing it at its best they could have waited until after the festival but maybe that was the plan to strike when its at its busiest just waiting on the rats appearing
@@normamcneill151 the whole point of a strike is to make the most impact.
Concerned of the rats. While 90% of UK is in the same state it's been 30 years ago 🤕
There is no rubbish outside Sturgeons Bute House because the SNP pay a contractor £43 million to lift the rubbish at public buildings. What’s wrong with using the local services ? Another ‘waste’ of taxpayers money.
Support freedom to strike. Support military aid to Ukraine while we suffer from energy crisis. Support our politician to mess up the country without considering the interest of the people. Support incompetent politician who can just talk about democracy and human rights whereas UK citizens have already lost their basis right to survive.
Honestly.. It's our own fault. The people are so lazy that they let this happen year upon year. There's no stop unless there's a physical stop and people don't seem to realise this.
It's more embarrassing how it got to this stage than the mess on the streets itself. If our local workers here in Bristol do something similar I will do my best to keep our household rubbish contained and then go take them flasks of tea and coffee on the picket line.
Solidarity! There are FAR more of us than there are of them. The worm is beginning to turn...
No one should ever have to react to "rubbish chaos".
In Spain the communal bins are emptied every day. Council tax equivalent of 500euros a year. Pure greed
1000 punds a year here, about + -, 100-120 a month, which is about 135 euros ;)
The most important job in any society is the rubbish remover.
Get some of those councillors and politicians cleaning the streets, it will be the only real work many of them have ever done.
they should be on zero hour contracts!
Go back to sleep.
Bonnie Scotland. Beautiful as ever. Independence is a MUST.
Edinburgh is a city ruined, was a great city in the 70's, 80's and 90's, cannot wait to escape from it now, its unrecognisable and not a nice place to live
Such progress
We don’t get paid enough
It's caused 20 million pounds worth of improvement...
I know that my city (79sqkm) has a team of 30 guys doing everything from litter bins, litter picking, pavement weeding, graffitti cleaning, and flytip clearance across the entire city...work that used to be done by 150 guys 15 years ago (all of whom could afford a mortgage on their salary) at a time when the city was considerably smaller and less populated.
Now, the team is a quarter of the size it once was, the city is a quarter bigger, and you can barely make rent on the salary, nevermind a mortgage!
we should ALL be striking.
I love the first lady's accent.
I could listen to her talk all day. 😊
Looks normal to me
She is on about giving money out. I bet she doesn't even work👍
thats only 10 day strike
When the binmen discover heroin
Dirty as in Durti!😀
Just a precursor... soon we'll all be knee deep in all sorts of *rap
Bojo gave Ukraine £54m.
Australia gave them $100m our poor and health system could have used that money the world is struggling and it's the rich and politians who are doing the best the people are having to strike because others control the money
That money would have benefited the united king he has no right giving money to the Ukraine 🇺🇦 they are getting plenty
Of help Zelensky is the United States 🇺🇸 puppet let them support the Ukraine 🇺🇦
@@JP-xu7gh Freedom independence and Glory to DPR and LPR. No to Naziukropnato.👍
Sooner give it them than the penny pinching Scott's. (You'll nay be having a sale will you?) 😂
I'd rather he gave that money to support the Ukrainians, they actually need it and would use it as sensibly as possible.
Aye and Nicola has her bins lifted by "private contractors". That's if she's no swanning off to Denmark to open a "Scottish Embassy"...don't get me started!. Oh well...I'm boldly going there in 24 hrs...hope it's no too smelly!.
@1:10 I like what that guy said, "one of the richest". Where did he get that statistics? Does he still believes the sun never sets?
Don't just put it on the street, throw it all over the streets and the council will pull their fingers out. They have to walk these streets as well.
Hope things don't end up like 1979; The Winter of discontent, because as we all know nationwide our population is larger by far, so things would be much worse than back then...
Like UK governemtn care about its people voice. Soon this is a normal practice given UK leaderhips are deaf.
The whole place ought to be out on strike an general strike or be held to ransom all your money wages benefits pensions and life savings siphoned away by smart meters not so smart after all because soon that Tory government would fit an meter to your airways and charge you for every breath...and If you dont pay you suffocate to death...No joke they really are that inhumane because it really is your health and vitality thats at stake here and thats why you should offer your support and be prepared to suffer for the strikers actions and as for the mice then soon they wont be an problem either because even they'll freeze to death and in your own home...!!
Why they throw the British on the floor
Strike and make them pay you what you deserve.
Interview the Tourism office.
Support freedom to strike
Watch/read JB Priestley’s “An Inspector Calls” to understand.
Edinburgh council is run by two English based political party's (Tories & red Tories). 🏴🇪🇺
SNP are running Scotland snd Edinburgh into the ground. Forget the strike, Edinburgh has being deteriorating for years. This once great city is in one hell of a mess!
@@chrisweir762 - bye bye Tory boy 🏴🇪🇺
@@alba9507 Who said anything about the Tories? Oh yes, how could I forget! Just blame someone else when things go wrong, that's the way of the SNP!
By 'red Tories' I assume you mean the Labour Party, founded by Keir Hardie of Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Then what’s the excuse with the trash all over Glasgow? That’s run by SNP. Honestly you SNP cultists are so deep in your denial it’s actually unhinged.
No to vaccine passports, mandates or lockdowns
Labour Tory coalition run Edinburgh nothing to do with snp of Scottish government
Thanks Nicola 👍
Is she in Scottish Labour? ... that's who runs Edinburgh Council.
I fully support them. Freedom! It’s all about fair and freedom. These lads deserve a pat at the back.
No, they deserve money in their pockets.
Looks like Sturgeon is the new Thatcher
Get a Grip, it's got nothing to do with the Scottish government. Edinburgh council is run by two English based political party's Labour & Tories, only the council awards pay rises. 🏴🇪🇺
@@alba9507 and Glasgow is run by the SNP and is in a worse state.
@@Adv18 - Really, I live in Glasgow & I don't see a state? Listening to you Britnats you would think only Scotland has strikes. You lot just can't wait to put down Scotland. 🏴🇪🇺
WHAT DO WE WANT! A CONTRACT! WHEN DO WE WANT IT!? NOW!
Glasgow's Miles Better !
@@chooselife7882 A hink it's pure dead brilliant
Scotland's and Sturgeon's shame.
Edinbrough's Labour run council will be relieved to hear that i'm sure.
Blame jimmy krankie.
lets be honest...that's what you were going to do anyway no matter what the situation was...and ignore the fact that the council is Labour run...oh...wait...you already were, nevermind.
Really? If you're talking about Crypto, I've just lost quite a lot of money!
@Franklin Media Of course it's a scam!
This is disgusting but what is stopping the general public helping out getting bin bags and clean up?
It's OK for everyone too complain
And put it where?
@@jaysee7283 Just bag it up
@@returnofthegmac9203 it is bagged up…. It’s the seagulls and rats that are pulling the bags apart. People shouldn’t be bagging up other folks rubbish. There could be syringes and all sorts in there. I totally support the strike but it’s not the rubbish not being ‘bagged up that’s the problem, it’s the fact there is no where to put it for the time being. The bags are just ripped open by birds and animals. There are over 50 rats running around the bin area where I live right now, I’m not bagging anything up and I would strongly advise against it right now unless you have the proper equipment. Even the councils and health experts are saying to stay away from it, it’s a complete health hazard. I do get what you’re saying though and I agree with the ‘quit moaning and do something about it yourself’ ethos, I really do agree with you. But it’s bad, out the bun areas etc, I genuinely is really bad.
OK fair enough
Edinburgh is england so no one actually care
Geography not your strong point then.

The Edinburgh council bin rubbish is not the fault of the SNP or Nicola Sturgeon, it is the fault of the Scottish Labour party as they are in charge of the council but what Scotland needs is Independence and the break up of the United Kingdom as the UK is a failed state full of poverty.
Well the Scott's will suffer as they get twice the amount spent on them
Accordingly, there'll be more for us English...then just watch... hordes of Scott's will move south to enjoy a better standard of living!
@@PrivateWalker Absolutely Rubbish, 2020-21 Financial Year, Scotland Raised £62.8 Billion and received £35.1 Billion from Westminster and 2021-22 Financial Year, Scotland Raised £73 Billion and received £41 Billion from Westminster Per Barnet Consequentials (Block Grant), remember the billions Scotland raised goes to England and we only get a small porportion back, Scotland is the world's 14th richest country and could easily become the richest per GDP if independent, if Scotland is so poor, ask yourself why Westminster does not want Scottish independence, Proof that if Scotland becomes independent is that England will be financially worse off but Scotland will be Filthy rich.
Independence really can't come soon enough!
