Side-Quest - Demand Republic Services negotiate a fair contract

Side Quest Proposal

ONCE YOU ARE READY TO VOTE, PLEASE VOTE YES/NO. I am not sure about our latest quorum numbers, but quorum previously was at six, so we need 7 Yes votes for each with maximum 3 coming from Steering.


One of the workers at the Teamsters 439 Strike today mentioned that it might help them if people called into Republic Services and left a message asking them to negotiate a fair contract with the newly unionized landfill workers.

This would be a good trial run of the targeting feature in solidarity.tech, which allows people input their number, receive a call from solidarity.tech, hear a short recording with instructions, and be forwarded to Republic Service’s help desk.

I’m proposing two phases:

Phase 1: Put up a link that allows people to place calls.

Phase 2: We input our contact list that has phone numbers (~300 I think) and we text bank them (this can be done at once automatically) but we need to monitor any replies.

Optionally, we can do a Phase 3 where we phone bank and ask people to call, but I think we have our plates full already. However, if you want to try it out, please say so in your reply.


Still have to work on the language, but the form is working here: Republic Services - Working Class Unity

I vote Yes. Just a funny observation, the form uses the phrase “Call The Target” which sounds ominous. :joy:
