Residents from the Stoneybatter area of Dublin took action against the continued activity of scab strike breaking refuse collections in their areas.  The workers at Greyhound have been locked out after refusing to take a 35% pay cut.

A network of people who knew each other from other struggles in the area organised online to leaflet much of Stoneybatter before blockading two trucks in the area this morning.  This video shot at the first blockade shoes negotiations with the Garda after they arrived 40 minutes after the blockade had started.

After some discussion it was agreed the truck would be allowed to leave the area if it made no further attempts to collect rubbish
