TEAMSTERS LOCAL 396 VOTES OVERWHELMINGLY TO AUTHORIZE STRIKE AT REPUBLIC SERVICES

GREATER BOSTON AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND, JUL 3 – Teamsters Local 25 members strike over Republic Services' refusal to match competitor wages and benefits despite $16 billion revenue in 2024, affecting over 3,500 workers nationwide.

  • Members of Teamsters Local 396 voted overwhelmingly on July 3, 2025, to authorize a strike against Republic Services in Southern California.
  • The strike follows stalled contract negotiations where workers demand fair wages, benefits, and respect, amid Republic's refusal to match competitors' rates.
  • Similar strikes and labor actions involving Teamsters have spread to Massachusetts, Illinois, and California, affecting over 3,500 workers and disrupting waste services.
  • Republic Services, the second-largest waste company with $16 billion revenue in 2024, stated it offers competitive wages and benefits but accused union members of vandalism and rejected union demands.
  • The strike will continue until Republic agrees to industry-standard pay and benefits, as union leaders emphasize strong worker unity and dedication to fairness and equity.
