Unite union votes to suspend Rayner's membership over Birmingham bin strikes

Unite suspends Angela Rayner's membership over Birmingham bin strikes as tensions escalate. The Labour-run city council's dispute with striking bin workers has led to mounting garbage piles since January. Unite warns of a potential rift with Labour if redundancies occur, threatening financial support and revealing broader discontent over various issues besides the strikes. Rayner has been advocating for a deal to end the strikes, while the union expresses disappointment with the council's handling of the situation.
