WEEKEND WRAP-UP:
TOP STORY:
As garbage piles up across Chula Vista, Mayor John McCann is calling for a special City Council meeting on Monday to discuss how the city should deal with the labor stoppage involving workers with the city’s only trash company.
For the past week, workers for Republic Services in Boston have been on strike for better pay and benefits.
In several cities across the U.S., including locations in the South Bay, thousands of Republic Services workers are showing support for the striking Boston employees by walking off the job.
As a result, trash has not been picked up in Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, San Ysidro, and Otay Mesa over several days, and it remains unknown when the work stoppage will end.
In Monday’s emergency council meeting, McCann and the council will work to determine the best solutions to quickly pick up the mounting trash in neighborhoods.
McCann said Republic Services has support teams that are going to help with trash pickup. The company is also bringing in employees from Arizona and Imperial County to assist with garbage collection.
Additionally, the mayor encouraged residents to leave bins out and said residents with questions or concerns could contact his office, jmccann@chulavistaca.gov or 619-691-5044.
Contract negotiations in Boston are expected to restart on Tuesday.
