Massive strike of garbage collectors forces Britain to call in the military.


The UK government has decided to involve the military in addressing the garbage problem in Birmingham. The garbage collectors' protest has been ongoing for over a month, and the deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, has reached out for help, reports The Daily Telegraph.
The military will not be responsible for removing garbage from the streets but will provide logistical support to manage the situation. They will work from an office and assist in planning, according to the publication citing sources.
If the situation worsens, the number of military personnel involved in combating the garbage crisis may increase.
The situation has become so critical that authorities have declared a state of emergency on the streets of Birmingham. The protesting garbage collectors are demanding payment for wages that have been denied to them, and they believe this could lead to wage reductions and loss of income for city workers. The city council claims that the position of garbage collection specialist is not a standard in the industry and does not exist in other cities.
The decision to involve the military may be an effective step in addressing the garbage problem in Birmingham, but everything will depend on the further development of the situation.
