WASHINGTON, April 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Waste workers employed by Republic Services in McDonough, Ga., voted overwhelmingly yesterday, by a five-to-one margin, to ratify a five-year agreement. The drivers, helpers and mechanics are members of Local 728 in Atlanta and have been working without a contract for nearly two years. The agreement contains better wages and stronger protections and secures retro pay for the unit of 40 workers.
Republic workers overcame an aggressive anti-union campaign by management throughout the bargaining process, said Renard Henley, a residential driver for Republic Services who also serves as a steward for Local 728.
