Union members at Waste Management in Chicago voted in favor of a
five-year agreement.
Members of Teamsters Local 731 said they voted by a 2-to-1
margin in what it described as the richest ever negotiated by the
450-worker group, with provisions including improvements to
benefits, contract language and working conditions.
Local 731 said it is negotiating agreements for other waste
workers at other employers including Republic Services and Waste
Connections.
The vote comes as labor issues are front and center with
contract fights between workers and employers such as those in
media and auto manufacturing are among the biggest in recent
weeks.
A tentative labor agreement between Hollywood studios, streamers
and writers was reached. The United Auto Workers union has sought
new agreements with Ford, General Motors and Chrysler-parent
Stellantis, with efforts still continuing.
