A council leader says the Government 'must get a grip' over waves of strike action.
Subscribe to our daily newsletter!The Labour leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, Councillor Shaun Davies, said that the extent of industrial action planned for the month was evidence of the Conservative Government's failure.
"I know from speaking to many of those people who are striking, the last thing they want to do is inconvenience the public at large, as well as lose a day's pay in the lead-up to Christmas. That is why it is imperative that an agreed deal that is fair is arrived at. Meanwhile Helen Morgan, Liberal Democrat MP for North Shropshire, also criticised the Government over the situation – but called for further negotiation, not more strike action.
