Republic Services is planning to restart garbage pickup in Fremont with substitute drivers starting Friday, amid a walkout in solidarity with striking teamsters seeking higher wages, better health insurance, and pensions.
Since 1997, Fremont teachers have paid their own way for medical and dental expenses, according to the district. Currently, Fremont teachers can make a yearly salary of $83,000 to $144,000, based on experience, with the highest salary requiring 29 years of teaching.
