00:00No real comment on that. I'm not really conversant with all the details in terms of the unions and what have you.

00:10I think it's a shame that things have come to that and lots of people on both sides are suffering about that.
00:17So it's not personally impacting me because I'm a Dudley resident so I'm still getting my bins collected.

00:28I think it's a big change in the terms. I think that workers have got a right to stand up for themselves.
00:34But maybe there's a better method to try and get it resolved in the situation we've got at the moment.
00:40Maybe the council needs to work a bit harder.
00:43But yeah, I don't know. Considering just down the road in Litchfield we've had absolutely no issues.

00:58So.
