US EditionJudge Hears From Mass. Communities over Request to Intervene in Trash Collectors Strike
BOSTON AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 22 – U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy denied Republic Services' injunction request as Teamsters Local 25 strike continues over pay and benefits, impacting multiple Massachusetts communities.
- On Tuesday, six Massachusetts towns including Beverly and Peabody went to Salem Superior Court seeking a judicial directive for Republic Services to enhance trash collection during the ongoing four-week strike.
- The strike started due to a labor dispute over wages despite Republic's assurances that it worked hard to reach a contract before the work stoppage.
- On Monday, Republic committed to allocating additional support within the week; however, mayors reported that trash collection remains irregular, with commercial bins overflowing and recycling services not occurring for several weeks.
- Beverly Mayor Michael Cahill dismissed the arguments made by the defense attorney, expressing the community’s dissatisfaction with ongoing service issues.
- Six Massachusetts towns and cities have collectively submitted a legal request for injunctive relief aimed at addressing public health concerns while awaiting a judge’s decision on improving trash and recycling services provided by Republic.
