(BCN) — A strike that left garbage piling up across Bay Area municipalities since July 8 has been ended, the president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors announced Friday night.
The strike by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters against Republic Services, a waste management company, "is over and we can expect the garbage to finally be picked up," Supervisor David J. Canepa said on social media.
"Republic and the union have reached an agreement," he said.
The strike affected communities including Daly City, Fairfield, Fremont, Half Moon Bay, Newark, Piedmont, San Jose, Stockton, Suisun City and Union City, according to the Republic Services website. The strike occurred amidst national contract negotiations between the Teamsters and Republic Services, the second-largest waste management company in the U.S.
