Waste Management Teamsters Defeat Decertification Effort

By a 2-1 margin, workers at Waste Management in Broward County, Florida voted today to remain Teamsters.

The workers voted 151-77 to remain members of Local 769 in Miami. There are 244 workers in the bargaining unit.

“This is a victory for all Teamster waste workers,” said Bob Morales, Director of the Teamsters Solid Waste, Recycling and Related Industries Division. “Waste Management will try anything to deny our workers the rights they deserve, but our members remained united and defeated the company’s anti-worker, anti-union tactics. This is a resounding victory and should send Waste Management a message that it cannot trample on our members’ rights.”
