PEABODY, MASS. (WHDH) - Negotiations will resume between sanitation workers on strike and Republic Services on Friday.
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is calling on Republic Services to reach a fair deal with union workers.
Healey says the lack of trash pick up has “gone beyond a headache” and called it a public health concern.
Friday marks day 17 of the strike. Six Massachusetts communities that have been impacted by the strike have filed formal complaints against Republic Services.
