A group of 44 sanitation workers at the Republic Services Polymer Center in Las Vegas has voted to join Teamsters Local 631.



These new Teamsters process plastic materials like water bottles, jugs, and containers and convert them into recyclable materials. They joined the union for better pay and benefits and to secure a real say over their work conditions.



“This was a true Teamsters victory, and each one of these workers should be proud of their bold decision to join our powerful union,” said Tommy Blitsch, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 631. “Workers sent a clear message that they will not rest until they have a strong contract that guarantees they are treated with respect.”
