Republic Services drivers ratify landmark contract
October 11, 2024
Local 439 is excited to announce that we have achieved the best Republic Services contract in the history of Local 439.
Secretary-Treasurer Sal Lomeli and President Rick Buzo have worked tirelessly to negotiate a contract that will benefit all of our members.
First and foremost, we have secured maintenance of benefits on healthcare, which is a significant achievement. This means that our members will have access to quality healthcare without having to worry about expensive out-of-pocket costs.
Additionally, our leadership has also negotiated pension contributions with no cap. This is a huge win for us as it ensures that our retirement benefits will not be limited.
And let’s not forget about the wage increases—they exceed 40% and will greatly benefit all of our hardworking members.
We are proud of our team and grateful for their dedication in securing this outstanding contract.
Thank you all for your support and we look forward to continuing to serve and protect the rights of our members
