Recology Addresses Union Labor Negotiations
There has been some confusion over concurrent contract negotiations between both Teamsters 350 and Recology and Teamsters 350 and South Bay Recycling.
[Editor's Note: The following information was received by the City of Belmont and is reprinted here.]
Because of concern regarding reports last week about ongoing negotiations between the company and labor, Gino Gasparini the Public Affairs Manager for Recology, the City of Belmont's solid waste provider sent the city the following message:
“Recology San Mateo County is currently negotiating in good faith with representatives from Teamsters Local 350 on contract terms to replace an expired contract that covers many of their employees. These negotiations are confidential between the parties. Negotiations of this magnitude usually take several weeks and possibly months to resolve.
Despite erroneous news reports, there has been no strike vote taken by the Teamsters in relation to the ongoing negotiations between Recology San Mateo County and Teamsters Local 350.
Concurrently, Teamsters Local 350 is negotiating separately with representatives from South Bay Recycling, the company that handles the processing and transfer of materials delivered by Recology San Mateo County to the Shoreway Environmental Center. It is our understanding that both parties continue to negotiate on the terms of their contract, but as Recology is not a party to those negotiations, we cannot comment on their progress.”
