The council had already appealed to neighbouring authorities for assistance but the government has now asked for help from the British army in tackling the crisis.
But no, It doesn't mean what you think...
This will involve some of the military’s office-based planners being called in to provide logistical and administrative assistance for a short period. It will not involve deployed soldiers collecting bins.
Why does the council need this assistance? Are their own 'logical and administative' staff on strike as well?
The dispute is over plans to scrap the higher-paid waste recycling and collection officer role from council fleets, which the council claims risks creating a “huge future equal-pay liability”.
Yes, this is another crazy 'equality' chicken coming home to roost, this one the size of an azhdarchid pterosaur.

As has been commented elsewhere (so I claim no novel insight) - send the dinner ladies out to collect the bins. Equal pay for equal work.
Wouldn't it be funny if the long suffering residents of Birmingham drop their festering bags of rubbish at the doors of the union leaders living in their leafy glades, far away from the pestilence they are causing?

A capital suggestion!
If only they could organise...
