BIN STRIKES THREATENED

8:23am Wednesday 26th March 2008

comment Comments (79)   Have your say »


BIN contractor BIFFA has dismissed a number of staff for being under the influence of drugs and alcohol at work.

Now unions representing the refuse collectors are threatening to go on strike in protest.

"We aren’t denying that eventually these issues could lead to industrial action."

Brian Nelson

BIFFA officials met with Transport and General Workers' Union for the first time last Wednesday to discuss their "unease" about the dismissals.

No decision was reached but the union confirmed they are not yet ruling out the fact that industrial action could be the final conclusion. That could mean Wirral residents may be left with unemptied bins until the issues are resolved.

The threats of industrial action comes after the Globe reported how the council plans to fine people who persistently put the wrong rubbish in the wrong coloured wheelie bins up to £100.

Brian Nelson, lead officer for Transport and General Workers' Union, Ellesmere Port, said to the Globe: "We met with BIFFA yesterday regarding a number of issues, and at this stage no plans for industrial action are in place. As yet, we are not even planning to ballot.

"But we aren't denying that eventually these issues could lead to industrial action."

When asked about the issues that have led to the industrial issues, Mr Nelson refused to comment.

BIFFA spokesman Mike Godfrey confirmed the dismissals were the reason for the action. He said: "We regret that the T&GWU has felt it necessary to necessary to negotiate with us over this matter.

"After following the proper procedure we were left with no option but to dismiss the small number of employees on the grounds of prolonged and consistent absenteeism and for being at work under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

"We take very seriously the issue of drug and alcohol abuse and we do not believe that anyone would condone the operation of heavy machinery or vehicles in public areas by people who are drunk or under the influence of drugs."

A Wirral Council spokeswoman said: "The council expects our contractor, Biffa, to undertake an efficient collection of bins whilst ensuring the safety of Wirral residents. Clearly this matter has been taken very seriously.""

Unbelievable. But then not in this day and age. Sack the lot. "In the good old days..." they used to go INTO the property,carry the bin to the wagon,empty it and carry it BACK INTO the property again. Nowadays they just leave them to block the pavement. Sack them. Along with the teachers and the coppers.

A reasoned and well thought out argument, NOT!

What exactly were the good old days? Oh yes I remember them well, outside toilets, coal fires, poverty, smog, having to borrow money to survive. The list goes on.

Why not save the nasty comments until this thing is resolved. On the one hand I can't see Biffa doing this unless really necessary but on the other, unions don't usually back their members in cases like this. Perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye.

It may just be cost cutting, and perhaps Biffa want to replace them with a few Poles?

It is not uncommon for employers to carry out 'with cause' testing for drugs and alcohol nowadays. I have worked in several places where this was the norm. It was spelled out quite clearly that there was a zero-tolerance approach to alcohol and drug misuse at work. If Biffa have such a policy and if they are enforcing it rigorously, then the T&GWU ought to be supporting their efforts, not threatening strike action. Or perhaps they want to go back to the 'good old days' of the 1970s, when Trades Unions held the country to ransom whenever they felt like it?

Just a bit of a quandry!If the strike does emerge,will the council waver the potential £100 fines,because we can rest assured bins will get contaminated if the strike takes effect.We don't know the full circumstances for the dimissal's,and i agree Alan, there is probably more to this than meets the eye.there is an old clicque "Know one knows what goes on behind closed doors"

Although we do not know the circumstances surrounding the dismissals, if they were under the influence of drink or drugs they should be instantly dismissed and the TGWU should support this. There are plenty of unemployed people who would value the chance to do the job (and do it properly). Having a zero tolerance policy is quite correct - after all if a drugged up or drunk bin wagon driver ran over a kid in your street there would be a scandal and a public enquiry. And Yes - being drunk or drugged up can easily lead to something like this and much worse. Instant dismissal in these cases is the only justified option.

As a biffa employee it seems that the certain minority of drug and drink abusers are tarnishing what is a good hardworking workforce as a mamber of the t&gwu i can not and will not support the unions stance to condone this activity and as for mr Nelson saying they are not even prepared to ballot tosh! the union rep at the depot Phil Howarth is actively getting names and addresses of wmployees for Mr Nelson to send Ballot papers too Biffa have a policy of zero tolerance on drink and drug abuse and this should be supported and applauded not condoned by the unions how would you feel if a 30 ton bin wagon was involved in an accident and then found the driver was found to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol god forbid if anybody got killed or hurt because then the unions would be baying for blood

I agree that when someone commits the offence of being under the influence of drink or drugs they should be punished, but, in all other situations proper tests are carried out and evidence gathered to support the case being made.
Does Biffa carry out such tests, does Biffa have supporting evidence for the action taken against these persons.
I hope so, because if not and they can carry out these dismissals without such evidential support then this could be the thin end of the wedge where any employer could dismiss staff because he "considered" that employee to be under the influence of drink or drugs, simply because that employer wanted that employee out of the way.

Jezza you are obviously a child so there is no point in telling you about the 1950's apart from saying that people did have jobs and there were plenty about. You weren't there so you will never understand.

One or two of the comments on here are a bit suspect to say the least. Again I say that the union would not fight for people who have been proven, once again proven to have taken drugs or been drunk on duty. I know it is a conspiracy theory but I wouldn't mind betting Biffa are using their propaganda machine on here as well.

For pity's sake start thinking for yourselves for once and stop believing everything you read in newspapers.

Ah now its all becoming clear. I have a number of marks on the side of my vehicle which coincide with the height of a wheely bin's handles. I thought it was an attempt at the bin chucking championship so they were using performance enhancing drugs. Or is it that my bins were emptied so early in the morning it was on their way back from a night on the tiles.

Biffa use an outside agency to perform random drug and alcohol testing these tests are done under the scrutiny of a trained professional and all procedures are followed under BIFFAs drug and alcohol procedures i must add that not all people who have tested positive have been sacked some who have been tested positive but not over the legal limits for alcohol or lower class drugs have had the option of the companys support and as long as they agree to regular testing and zero results are allowed to carry on working i find it very hard that the union does not support this stance but is actively trying to get staff members reinstated when tested positive for large amounts of alcohol or hard drugs i think the management of this company should be congratulated and other companys should follow suit

Biffa.. you are too evangelistic,

many binmen have taken stimulants for many years, all have done their jobs correctly, and only those who take too many days sick, tell householders to f off or tip a bin over their supervisor should be sacked.

What this policy is now doing is to place these people onto the dole, paid for by you and I.

Unbelievable. When a job requires an immense amount of responsibility such as pushing a bin off a pavement and hooking it onto the back of a bin wagon, and then discarding it on it's side, I find it incredible that these people should be dismissed.
What with increasing demands on the bin men, including not having to pick up bin bags, not taking bins that have ajar lids, being as noisy as possible, and of course the added strain of having to plough through grass verges with their 10 ton wagons, it should be LAW that these hard-working, always pleasant pillars and true winners of the community should be rewarded with a bottle of Diamond White every morning 9if they decide that that day is the one they should empty the bins).

Up the binmen! My road will not be the same without the unpredictable collection times, the randomly emptied bins, and mostly, the happy chaps in the yellow jackets emptying them!
