Councillor Martynas Cekavicius, Havering’s Cabinet Member for Public Realm, said:
“Havering Council is aware of the ongoing discussions between FCC and Unite regarding a number of issues raised by union members.
“While these discussions continue, the Council strongly urges both FCC and the Union to work constructively towards an amicable resolution as soon as possible, in the interests of employees and to minimise the risk of disruption to local residents and essential services.
“The Council will remain in close contact with FCC as discussions progress and will continue to monitor the situation.
“We hope that both parties can reach a positive outcome through dialogue and negotiation, avoiding any unnecessary impact on residents.”
