Many customers around Western Washington have been expressing frustrations with trash pile-ups as the Republic Services strike enters its 10th day. The strike comes as the Republic Services employees across the country are demanding higher wages, improved benefits, and better worker protections.

Six communities across Massachusetts impacted by the ongoing trash collector strike filed a complaint asking a judge to put an end to it.

The waste management company said that a truck was stolen, vehicles were damaged, and that non-union workers are being harassed by Teamsters.
