Leeds refuse workers

Am still at work on a collection of articles about people in the underfunded, under-resourced West Lancashire town of Skelmersdale. Will start posting these in the next couple of weeks.

Best of luck to the posties as they continue their strike action. Good luck, too, to refuse staff in Leeds who are in their eighth week of strike action in protest at their Tory/Lib Dem council's plan to cut their wages from an average of £18,000 to £13,000. Jon Rogers has a good article asking union branches to donate to the Leeds workers' hardship fund.I hope people do - things are getting pretty tough for people in low-paid jobs.
