Financial Times journalists invoke dispute procedure over four-day office return mandate

FT journalists have unanimously voted to invoke the publication's dispute procedure over management's plans to increase office attendance from three to four days per week by year-end. The NUJ chapel argues management has 'not made a compelling case' for the change, raising concerns about discrimination against parents (particularly mothers), financial impacts on staff, and whether some staff were hired on three-day hybrid working commitments. About 500-600 editorial staff at London HQ are affected, with roughly two-thirds being union members.

Birmingham bin strike settlement within sight after year-long dispute

Birmingham city council leader John Cotton says a year-long bin strike is 'within sight' of resolution after committing to an improved offer for refuse workers. The strike began in January 2025 over proposed pay cuts and role changes, leading to 17,000 tonnes of uncollected rubbish and a major incident declaration. The new offer includes a two-month salary reduction cushion, permanent jobs for agency workers over 12 months, and quashed disciplinary issues. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham blamed government commissioners sent after the council went bankrupt in 2023 for blocking the deal. The announcement comes a week before local elections.
