40 workers at Republic Services have voted overwhelmingly to join Teamsters Local 439!
The group includes machine operators, laborers, and maintenance workers at the company’s Stockton, California, landfill facility.
“I’ve been working at Republic for years, and we organized with the Teamsters because we hit a boiling point over our pay, benefits, and working conditions,” said Jose Zepeda, a spotter and new member of Local 439. “I want to thank the Local 439 drivers at Republic and Waste Management who dump at our facility and supported our organizing campaign. I’m proud that my co-workers and I stepped up to the plate and fought for what we deserve.”
Workers at the Stockton landfill organized with the Teamsters to achieve the same gains that drivers at Republic, already represented by Local 439, have secured.
