Great new from the Teamsters and Waste Management tonight. A contract agreement has been reached, so there is no more risk of disruption to our garbage service. Here is the email we received this evening from Waste Management;

Subject: WM & Teamsters Reach Agreement!
Dear Mayor Law and Renton City Councilmembers,
I am pleased to announce that Waste Management and the Teamsters reached agreement tonight on a new five-year Union contract. The Union leadership will fully recommend that their members approve the new contract at a ratification vote scheduled for this Sunday.
The contract offers a solid compensation package to our hardworking and professional drivers, and recognizes the valuable service that our drivers provide in our local communities.
I want to thank you all for your support during the past month. We are glad to put this behind us and to focus on our daily operations.
Collection service will be on schedule the rest of the week!
Regards,
Susan Robinson
