Nationwide Waste Disposal Strike Impacts Several California Cities

STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA, JUL 8 – The strike by Teamsters Local 439 demands better wages, benefits, and labor protections, potentially affecting over 3,500 workers nationwide, union officials said.

  • At noon on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, Teamsters Local 439 began striking against Republic Services, causing disruptions to waste pickup services in several Northern California communities such as Stockton.
  • The strike comes after Republic Services declined to offer a contract that includes increased pay, enhanced benefits, and more robust labor safeguards, following similar labor actions recently seen in Boston, Ottawa, and Cumming.
  • The strike has caused garbage service delays in Stockton, Fairfield, Lathrop, and Manteca, with solidarity pickets in Fremont, Milpitas, and Daly City, and officials warning residents about disruptions.
  • Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi emphasized the importance of reaching a prompt agreement so that workers can continue their duties and residents’ trash collection is not disrupted during the unexpected labor issue.
  • The strike may disrupt collections for over 3,500 Teamsters nationwide and could extend to other locations, but services are expected to resume in one to two days as negotiations continue.
