Statement of Sims Municipal Recycling (SMR)

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK (March 2, 2017) – "We are pleased that we were able to reach agreement with Teamsters Local 210 for an immediate vote on whether or not to have union representation at the Sunset Park Material Recovery Facility in Brooklyn. As we have said many times, we respect the right of our employees to unionize if they so choose. We particularly appreciate the role of the New York City Council in helping to make this vote a reality on an accelerated timetable.

We remain firmly committed to providing a workplace that epitomizes Sims’ core values of safety, integrity and respect for all."
