<\/a> International Brotherhood Of Teamsters <\/p>\n“With today’s economic challenges, our members now more than ever are rising up to demand respect and dignity in their workplaces. With this strong contract, they have shown their commitment to raising the bar for workers across the entire waste industry,” said Sergio Arra\u00f1aga, a business agent for Local 350 and chief negotiator for the bargaining unit. “We carried the unit’s energy into negotiations and collectively delivered strong results.” <\/p>\n

“Every time we sit down at the bargaining table, we know the expectation of the members is to raise the bar. This contract does exactly that with strong economic improvements, new work protections, and an industry-leading ninth week of vacation time,” said Robert Sandoval, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 350. “A big thank you and congratulations to our bargaining committee members who stood strong and united during negotiations to ensure the contract delivered what their co-workers demanded.” <\/p>\n
