Around 100 Great Yarmouth Services (GYS) workers – including bin collectors, street cleaners, gardeners and grave diggers – will walk out from Thursday, August 6.
This comes after unions rejected a 3.3pc pay offer and demanded a 20pc rise to match wages in Norwich, Broadland and Lowestoft.
Bin workers have voted for strike action in Great Yarmouth.
