Six hundred refuse collectors, street cleaners, recycling and highways staff employed by Liverpool City Council are on strike to protect wages and conditions. A series of rolling strikes, overtime bans and a work to rule have not been enough to stop the council using strike-breaking scabs.
Assist-Streetcare, who already have a number of juicy contracts, have been supplying workers to Enterprise Liverpool to break the strike. These workers are been told specifically that they will have to cross picket lines.
Assist-Streetcare need to understand that although they may be able to find some people desperate enough for work to scab, there are many more of us who won't let them get away with it. Assist-Streetcare need to understand that if they disrupt a strike, we will disrupt their business.
Join us on Tuesday 15th September 9am to 2pm for a picket, phone and email blockade of Assist-Streetcare Liverpool

Feel free to write your own email, but keep it polite, or cut and paste this statement and send it on:
The ongoing industrial action by workers at Enterprise Liverpool is an important fight to protect wages and conditions. Assist-Streetcare's actions in supplying scab workers not only threaten workers in this dispute, but all of us at a time when wages and conditions are under attack in many different workplaces.
In support of the striking workers I would ask Assist-Streetcare:
Not to supply any extra staff to Enterprise Liverpool during this dispute.
Not to require any of your workers to cross picket lines.
Thank you very much.
