Garbage service will likely be interrupted in Pacifica, Daly City and Half Moon Bay again today as a Teamsters strike continues to highlight a labor dispute with Republic Services/Allied Waste in another state.
Teamsters picketed and blocked the entrance to Ox Mountain Sanitary Landfill off State Route 92 yesterday morning to support striking workers in Ohio.
"Due to an unresolved labor issue in another part of the country, some of our local union employees exercised their right to picket to show their support. This is not an issue connected with our local area and we don't anticipate that this sympathy strike will last long or have a significant impact on our ability to serve customers," Evan Boyd, division manager for Republic Services/Allied Waste wrote in a statement.
The company is trying to minimize any service disruptions and customers with proof of residence can bring garbage to the landfill free of charge, Boyd wrote.
Garbage workers in Fremont and Fairfield are also joining the strike.
Garbage workers in the Youngstown, Ohio area began to strike a week ago over a pension fund dispute. Since the strike started, garbage workers in some cities in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana have also honored the strike.
