The 2022 Scotland bin strike was a labour strike by bin workers across Scotland. The workers, represented by the GMB were striking for a pay rise to match that being given to local government workers in the rest of the UK.[1] The strikes began in Edinburgh but spread to other parts of Scotland, affecting 20 of Scotland's 32 council areas.[2][3]
