Coventry's striking bin lorry drivers call for a new deal

Four bin lorry drivers in Coventry have been talking about why they're taking industrial action. Industrial action by Unite union members has been ongoing since December, but this week sees full walk-outs until the end of March.

Both sides have recently met at independent arbitration service Acas. 麻豆社 CWR reporter Rosie Eaton has been hearing their stories.
