July 5, 2024
Local 315 is thrilled to announce a historic victory for our dedicated members at Bay Cities Refuse and Bayview Refuse Recycling! Serving the Southern Marin area and Kensington, these members have ratified a groundbreaking contract that marks a significant milestone in our union’s history.
This monumental achievement would not have been possible without the tireless dedication and hard work of our bargaining committee. Their commitment and perseverance have been instrumental in securing great wages, excellent health and welfare benefits, and a robust retirement plan for all.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the committee for their unwavering efforts and strategic negotiation skills that have led us to this momentous success.
Business Agent David Rodriguez, says “Our members employed in the Solid Waste Industry are engaged in one of the top five most dangerous lines of work in the country. The risks they face daily underscore the importance of achieving a contract that not only rewards their hard work with fair compensation but also ensures their health, safety, and future security.”
To all our members, thank you for your trust and solidarity throughout this process. Your courage and unity have been the driving force behind this victory. By standing together, you have paved the way for a brighter, safer, and more secure future for everyone in our union.
This contract is more than just an agreement—it is a testament to what we can achieve when we stand united and fight for our rights. It is a shining example of our collective strength and the power of solidarity.
Together, we are stronger. Together, we are #UnionStrong.
