Six weeks into their strike, over 400 sanitation workers at Republic Services in Massachusetts, Illinois and Georgia are fighting for better wages and lower health care costs. The strikers, members of the Teamsters, face a bosses’ strikebreaking operation and need support from working people and unions. In the last week, they’ve traveled to set up picket lines at Republic sites in Toledo, Ohio, and Little Rock, Arkansas.
