Teamsters Local 396 announced a decisive union election victory on August 25, 2025, at the Republic Services Huntington Beach Transfer Station. Workers at the facility voted by a super majority to join the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
This outcome signifies a growing demand for increased dignity, respect, and a stronger voice on the job among waste and recycling workers at Republic Services. The successful election could pave the way for collective bargaining negotiations at this location.
The unionization of additional facilities may lead to increased labor costs and potential for further labor disputes across Republic Services' operations. This development adds to the ongoing labor relations challenges the company has faced in recent months.
