Teamster recycle and yard waste drivers who work at Republic Services voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike on Sunday. The drivers took the strike vote after a contract update meeting at the Teamsters building in Tukwila.

Teamsters on Long Island have been on strike at Clare Rose for 41 days. The company is intent on slashing worker pay and benefits.

My name is George Blakey. I am a Shop Steward and proud member of Teamsters Local 117 who works as a driver for Republic Services in the solid waste industry.

On a sunny day in May, along with toddlers and mothers in bright shirts and summer dresses, I headed to the Woodland Park Zoo.

Yard waste and recycle drivers who work at Republic Services filled our Union hall yesterday to demand equal pay for equal work.

About 50 members of Teamsters 117 and their families met at the Union hall in Tukwila on Saturday to attend our Immigration and Community Resource Fair.

Congratulations to our members at the Woodland Park Zoo on their new contract! Members voted to ratify the agreement yesterday after an update meeting at the zoo. The vote was unanimous - 100% voted in favor of ratifying the proposal.

It was an impressive sight. Fifty volunteers, all union members, coming together to fight homelessness. Teamsters working together with Machinists, working with members of the Building Trades and the Martin Luther King County Labor Council.
