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.

  • Members of Teamsters Local 439 launched a strike against Republic Services at the Forward Landfill on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, disrupting waste collection in several Northern California cities.
  • The strike followed unresolved contract disputes over wages, benefits, and labor protections, after Republic Services refused to offer what workers consider a fair deal.
  • The strike impacts tens of thousands of residents in Stockton, Fairfield, Lathrop, and Manteca, while some workers at other facilities refuse to cross picket lines in solidarity.
  • Republic Services attributed the delays in trash collection to unexpected labor issues, while Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi voiced her wish for a prompt agreement that would allow waste pickup to resume.
  • Officials warned residents about ongoing disruptions with no clear end date, and hundreds of other Teamsters nationwide might join strikes over similar disputes, potentially extending the impact.
