卡车司机工会（Teamsters）10月26日宣布，其 Local 396 分会代表的洛杉矶县与橙县约700名 Waste Management 公司环卫工人已投票批准一份新的集体谈判合同。这也是该分会近期在南加州环卫行业接连落定的协议之一：约1,900名 Republic Services 工人的新合同此前已获批准，本站10月23日曾作报道。
Local 396 秘书兼财务主管、Teamsters 固体废物与回收部主任 Victor Mineros 表示，会员的参与和能量是赢得这份有力合同的关键；他同时称，分会仍在为区内其他清运公司的数百名工人谈判新合同，包括 WARE Disposal、Athens Services、CR&R 与 Park Disposal。Waste Management 一线替班司机 Luis Isordia 表示，这场胜利来之不易。

700 Waste Management Workers in Los Angeles and Orange Counties Ratify New Contract: Another Win for Teamsters Local 396
The Teamsters announced on Oct. 26 that about 700 Waste Management workers in Los Angeles and Orange counties, represented by Teamsters Local 396, have ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. It is the local's latest deal in Southern California's sanitation industry: a contract covering about 1,900 Republic Services workers was ratified shortly before, as GSM reported on Oct. 23.
Victor Mineros, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 396 and Director of the Teamsters Solid Waste and Recycling Division, said rank-and-file engagement was key to securing the strong contract, adding that the local is still bargaining new agreements for hundreds of workers at other regional haulers, including WARE Disposal, Athens Services, CR&R and Park Disposal. Luis Isordia, a relief driver at Waste Management, said the win did not come easily.
Waste Management is the largest sanitation corporation in the United States, with $25.2 billion in revenue last year. Founded in 1903, the Teamsters represent about 1.3 million workers in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. (Source: Teamsters release via PR Newswire)
