Garbage collection still on schedule

Although Teamsters Local 174 does not have a contract, Seattle Public Utilities says that garbage and yard waste drivers will remain on the job today. “Although no new contract agreement has been announced between the company and the union, Teamsters officials reportedly have instructed garbage haulers to go to work today as usual,” a SPU press release states. The contract between Waste Management and the Teamsters Local 174 expired on March 31.
