Birmingham City Council has announced plans that will result in rent increases for council tenants as part of major efforts to address the city's housing crisis. Concurrently, the council's announcement to cut 600 jobs has led the GMB union to warn that strike action, which could 'bring the city to a halt', is more likely. 'Robust' talks, reported by Lewis J Warner, are underway between the union and the council regarding the proposed job cuts.
