TEAMSTERS LOCAL 396 VOTES OVERWHELMINGLY TO AUTHORIZE STRIKE AT REPUBLIC SERVICES
The strike authorization vote sends a clear message to Republic Services: Teamsters are united and prepared to take action to secure the fair wages, benefits, and working conditions they deserve.
'These workers perform dangerous, high-stakes jobs that protect our communities and environment every single day,' said Victor Mineros, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 396 and Director of the Teamsters Solid Waste and Recycling Division. 'They deserve a contract that respects their contributions — not lowball proposals and corporate stonewalling. The company must bargain in good faith.'
This vote is part of a growing wave of coordinated labor actions by Teamsters at Republic Services locations across the country, including Massachusetts, Illinois, and California. Republic Services is the second-largest waste and recycling company in the nation and continues to face pressure from Teamsters-represented workers demanding better treatment and respect on the job.
Teamsters Local 396 represents thousands of sanitation and transportation workers throughout Southern California. The local union is affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents over 1.3 million hardworking people throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Lloyd Howell steps down as executive director of NFL Players Association
Lloyd Howell has resigned as executive director of the NFL Players Association, citing distractions his leadership has caused in recent weeks. 'Two years ago, I accepted the role of Executive Director of the NFLPA because I believe deeply in the mission of this union and the power of collective action to drive positive change for the players of America's most popular sport,' Howell said in a statement released late Thursday night. 'Our members deserve a union that will fight relentlessly for their health, safety, financial futures, and long-term well-being. My priority has been to lead that fight by serving this union with focus and dedication. 'It's clear that my leadership has become a distraction to the important work the NFLPA advances every day. For this reason, I have informed the NFLPA Executive Committee that I am stepping down as Executive Director of the NFLPA and Chairman of the Board of NFL Players effective immediately. I hope this will allow the NFLPA to maintain its focus on its player members ahead of the upcoming season.' Howell has come under scrutiny since ESPN reported he has maintained a part-time consulting job with the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm that holds league approval to seek minority ownership in NFL franchises. That followed the revelation that the NFLPA and the league had a confidentiality agreement to keep quiet an arbitrator's ruling about possible collusion by owners over quarterback salaries. The latest issue was an ESPN report Thursday that revealed two player representatives who voted for Howell were not aware that he was sued in 2011 for sexual discrimination and retaliation while he was a senior executive at Booz Allen. 'I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish at the NFLPA over the past two years,' Howell said. 'I will be rooting for the players from the sidelines as loud as ever, and I know the NFLPA will continue to ensure that players remain firmly at the center of football's future.' ___ AP NFL: Rob Maaddi, The Associated Press
