Power to the workers: A union win at Sims Recycling

For months, 66 workers laboring at a city-contracted recycling plant in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, sought to unionize, as is their right. Their employer, Sims Municipal Recycling, resisted. The workers threatened a strike, as is their right. They voted Friday and, under watch of an independent arbiter, joined Teamsters Local 210. That’s the way it works in America.
