OC Teamsters strike disrupts landfill access; safety concerns raised

More than 400 Orange County Teamsters remain on strike after rejecting the county’s 4% offer, slightly over 3% for the remaining contract year; back pay remains disputed. Reports describe blocked landfill access and long truck waits, while OCEA alleges close calls and runoff concerns as supervisors cover unfamiliar work. The county is seeking a court order; Garden Grove-specific service effects remain unclear.
