WASHINGTON, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ After a hard-fought, two-year struggle, Teamsters at Republic Services in Cumming, Ga., unanimously ratified their first contract on Saturday. The four-year agreement contains better wages, seniority language, a grievance procedure and stronger security for the 40-worker unit. We stayed true to our beliefs of unionization. No matter what the company threw at us, we knew we could stop it by standing together as a union, said Greg Dowis, a 23-year industrial driver for Republic Services and union steward for Local 728. I want to thank my brothers and sisters in Cumming for staying united throughout our battle at the bargaining table.
