I saw something saying about £22k. Can't blame them at all!Assume the drivers need a HGV license, how much do the drivers get paid? I've got a couple of job alerts setup for anything that comes up in Cov and every day there's multiple job ads for HGV drivers paying £40K plus.
If there's a shortage of drivers and therefore bigger salaries being offered councils are going to have to match them. You can knock a bit off for the hours and staying local but you still need to match increases elsewhere.

Drivers I believe from reading the statement from Cov Council.Is 22K the drivers or the people who don't drive?
£22k is a joke wage. More power to them (he says safely outside the CCC jurisdiction).
Who cares what the national average is? Britain is a low pay economy and the national average is therefore too lowIt is a joke wage but the national average is only £23,500, I don’t know how many hours per week they do?

Wow, wages really are coming down!That’s not the national average. The median income is £31.28

I meant that was the national average wage for a refuge truck driver.
Apologies for what's coming , but needs must ..

Got an email from SMBC about Christmas collections, opened it fearing the usual based on experience of Cov council but it was a cheery confirmation of business as usual. Now I worry will it feel like Christmas without the street outside starting to smell of stale bin juice and having the fun of hurdling backed up recycling? The magic may be gone
I never understand the 'I haven't had a pay rise so nobody should get one' idea. If bills are going up shouldn't we be pushing for everyone to get pay rises?It's no different to the rest of us. Yes bills are going up, but personally I had 1% rise in 2020, zero this year. Not sure what's happening this coming Jan yet, but not heard anything so not holding my breath.
Yes we should, but I wouldn't expect someone else to suffer for my choices and I can either get a pay rise or move jobs. Lots out there at the minute. I'll stay, but then I won't expect my employer in tough times when colleagues have lost jobs, to increase my wages.I never understand the 'I haven't had a pay rise so nobody should get one' idea.

It's also a service paid for by residents through council tax. Will they get a reduction for the affected time? Will they bollocks.
Explains why my recycling got ignored for 2 monthsRecycling and Garden are not included in your council tax
Coventry are also one of the only councils still that collect garden waste for no extra charge
I didn't bite, but as you've gone in again with a personal dig, then yes. It's not a skilled job, it doesn't say anything about the people doing it, but there are no skills required so it pays market forces. When there aren't people willing to do it wages will increase, until then move on if its not suitable, but why should residents suffer for selfishness?Proper tory boy attitude , everybody should be on a liveable wage , and paid their worth .. full stop
