The 2009 Leeds refuse workers strike is an ongoing industrial dispute in Leeds, United Kingdom between Leeds City Council and the city's binmen.[1]

Background

The strike began on September 7th 2009[2] and is over the city council's plans to equalise the pay of men and women, which some workers argue will see considerable reductions in their wages.
