Earlier Friday, the company issued a warning that workers who continued to strike would have their health care benefit contributions revoked — unless they agreed to cross the picket line and return to work, union leaders said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities considered legal action against the company as the trash went uncollected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Catch up fast: \u003c/strong>The strike started in the Boston area, where Teamsters-represented Republic Services workers voted to walk off the job in response to what union leaders described as the company’s refusal to match the wage and benefits packages offered by other waste management companies. The labor action spread across the country, and more than 2,000 Teamsters workers at Republic Services are now on strike or honoring picket lines nationwide, \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/Teamsters/status/1945220523257938148\">the union said\u003c/a>.

In a message that was forwarded to KQED by union representatives, Republic Services allegedly told workers that benefit contributions will end Saturday. Employees who do not return to work by Monday will be responsible for paying the full cost of their benefits, including medical, dental and vision, according to the statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are welcome to return to work even while the Teamsters organization continues its strike, in which case the company will continue paying for your benefits — the choice is yours,” the message read.[aside postID=news_12047597 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/GarbageBagsGetty.jpg']Meanwhile, city officials across the Bay Area are urging Republic Services to reach an agreement with union members to end the labor action. Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi demanded in a social media post on Thursday that the company resolve “the trash situation” by sitting down with workers and union leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fugazi also called on Republic Services to provide customers with a refund for the services delayed by the strike, adding that the city will end its contract with the company if the situation is not resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are fast food workers who are making more than our waste haul employees,” Fugazi said in her Facebook post. “That’s not right, and we need to get this trash picked up.

The labor action spread across the country, and more than 2,000 Teamsters workers at Republic Services are now on strike or honoring picket lines nationwide, \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/Teamsters/status/1945220523257938148\">the union said\u003c/a>.
