Waste Management's unionized work force recently was spoken for by their leadership group the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Waste Management's unionized work force spoke of horrible work conditions. The unionized work force speaking up allowed testimony to be heard by the US Senate Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety - which showed Waste Management's OSHA violations rising by 28% between 2003 and 2007.
The National Commission of Inquiry into the Worker Health and Safety Crisis in the Solid Waste Industry issued a reported titled - "In Harms Way". You will be shocked to read what Waste Management's own employees are saying about their company. Click the link below to read "In Harms Way".

One has to wonder after reading "In Harms Way" do the Waste Management "non-union" employees of Alliance landfill feel the same as their fellow unionized Waste Management employees represented by the Teamsters. Do Waste Management corporate officials or Alliance Landfill management hold a power over them?
WE ASK ALLIANCE LANDFILL EMPLOYEES....WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH YOU WORK, LIVE, AND RAISE YOUR FAMILIES? WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT PERMANENT MANDATORY PM2.5 COMMUNITY BASED AIR MONITORING?
One can only continue to wonder why.....unless of course you don't live in Taylor, Old Forge or Ransom; like some of Alliance Landfills executives.
