Fremont is set to restart garbage pickup on Friday with substitute drivers due to a worker strike over demands for higher wages, better health insurance, and pensions. This strike affected trash collection across more than two dozen Bay Area cities, with ongoing negotiations between Republic Services and the Teamsters. While essential businesses continue to receive trash and recycling services, Union City has created temporary drop-off locations for residents to dispose of their waste and recycling during the service disruption. Republic Services remains a major player in the waste management industry with significant revenue growth and employment.
