PHOENIX, March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Members of Teamsters Local 104 at Republic Services' North and East yards in Phoenix, Ariz., have overwhelmingly ratified their first collective bargaining agreements.

  • Nationwide, the Teamsters represent more than 7,000 workers at Republic Services.
  • "Throughout this campaign, Republic tried its best to intimidate us, but we stayed united and secured a strong first contract," said Keith Purcell, a driver at Republic Services East Yard and a member of the negotiating committee.
  • "After voting to become Teamsters, the company waited a full year to offer us a fair contract," said Mark McCall, a driver at Republic Services' North Yard and a member of the negotiating committee.
