Union Issues in the Solid Waste Industry

National Solid Wastes Management Association

The Teamsters Union is focusing its efforts towards the solid waste industry. Solid waste companies traditionally operate within the United States and don't move their jobs or facilities overseas - making them a threat for union organizing. Ronald J. Holland and Philip R. Paturzo outline strategic plans used by the unions to organize companies, the bargaining process, ways employers can reduce the impact of a strike and practices management can take to decrease union organizing campaigns.
