Teamsters Local 25 and Republic Services walked away from the bargaining table on Tuesday, having made “little progress” on a deal to end the work stoppage.
The work stoppage, led by Teamsters-affiliated employees demanding contract improvements, has now impacted waste collection in parts of King and Snohomish counties. Republic Services, one of the region’s largest waste haulers, is in contract negotiations with workers at five locations across the state.
