Los trabajadores de Republic Services regresaron a trabajar el miércoles después de abandonar el trabajo en solidaridad con los huelguistas de la Costa Este.

The strike by more than 2,000 Republic Services sanitation workers ... its political servants in the two parties and the pro-corporate trade union functionaries on the other. The strike follows closely on the heels of the largest municipal workers ...

A Teamsters spokesperson says the picket lines have moved to the Republic Services location on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, meaning customers will not have their trash picked up.

Republic Services and the Teamsters have been at a standoff since July 1, when 450 local workers went on strike after the union's contract expired. Teamsters are seeking better wages, benefits and stronger labor protections.

West Contra Costa County residents can also continue to bring four bags of trash to the Golden Bear Transfer Station at no charge with proof of residency, Gioia said. This service is available Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
