“Sanitation is one of the most dangerous professions out there, and injuries are common

[T-Link Reporter]

“Sanitation is one of the most dangerous professions out there, and injuries are common. As a transfer station driver, I move waste to landfills and incinerators. We know how important our work is and that we have earned the better wages, health care, and protections we are fighting for. We don’t want this strike to happen. But we can’t raise families, pay our bills, or one day retire unless things change for the better. If you find out that your trash isn’t getting picked up, just remember — it’s because Republic Services turned its back on all of us. We’ve supported Massachusetts for years. We ask that you support us.”
