Union's inflammatory reports claim rejected

摘要

Senior officers at Birmingham City Council have rejected a trade union's claims their reports have been 'inflammatory, defamatory and inaccurate' as a bin dispute continues. Unite assistant general secretary, Howard Beckett, had criticised recent commentary about his union in cabinet reports - accusations denied in a briefing prepared by chief executive Dawn Baxendale, chief finance officer Clive Heaphy and city solicitor Kate Charlton.
