Bay Area sanitation workers this week joined what a union leader called a nationwide garbage “war” between the Teamsters and Republic Services — which provides trash and recycling pickups for hundreds of thousands of residents around the U.S — over wages and working conditions.

The city of Philadelphia says regular trash pickup will resume next week after a deal was reached to end the DC 33 labor strike.

Nearly 10,000 blue-collar employees from District Council 33 of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees in Philadelphia walked off the job on July 1, seeking better pay and benefits after negotiations with the city failed.
