There has been interesting new developments in the Anti Bin Tax Campaign. About 100 protestors demonstated outside the Ballymount bin depot in the south Dublin County Council area this morning in response to the jailing of 6 residents yesterday. Showing their solidarity with the residents and support for the anti bin tax campaign, bin workers stated that they would not implement the Council's non collection policy and would be collecting all bins! The bin trucks were about to roll out of the depot and collect all bins, to the delight of residents, when Council management got wind of what was happening and locked the bin trucks in (!), insisting that trucks would not be allowed out unless the workers refused to collect the bins of those boycotting the bin tax. When the workers refused to do this, management took them off the payroll.
