Republic Services is planning to restart garbage pickup in Fremont with substitute drivers starting Friday, amid a walkout in solidarity with striking teamsters seeking higher wages, better health insurance, and pensions.

Serving this community and the Fremont Police Department for over 28 years including nearly four years as chief has been an extraordinary honor and privilege, Washington said.

Firefighters were working to contain a 50-acre blaze that ignited just east of Fremont, potentially expanding to 75 acres, according to Cal Fire.

The pedestrian was traveling northbound across westbound lanes of Mission Boulevard when he was hit by the driver, according to police.

Since 1997, Fremont teachers have paid their own way for medical and dental expenses, according to the district. Currently, Fremont teachers can make a yearly salary of $83,000 to $144,000, based on experience, with the highest salary requiring 29 years of teaching.
