Key Points: 
  • TUKWILA, Wash., Jan. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid stalled contract negotiations, a group of six specialized office workers at Recology in Seattle have voted unanimously to authorize a strike.
  • These workers have chosen Teamsters Local 174 to negotiate their first contract, which is the same local that represents the drivers and dispatchers at Recology's Seattle location.
  • Though the group of workers is small, a strike would have a devastating impact on Recology customers throughout King County, as all Local 174 Recology Teamsters have the right to refuse to cross the picket line.
  • Now that a strike has been authorized, Teamsters Local 174 leadership can call for a work stoppage at any time.
