Stericycle is actually very, very dirty. Nothing sterile there!
Stericycle talks about their efficiency but fails to realize that their workers are the reason for that.
Shortly following a victorious union election, Stericycle fired two workers in Oakland, California, for exposing the company’s anti-union tactics. Juan Vasquez and Carlos Reyes were fired soon after testifying before the Oakland Office of the National Labor Relations Board regarding the company’s anti-worker actions.
In spite of numerous occasions where Stericycle supervisors harassed workers for organizing, the workers voted 2 to 1 for union representation. The workers hoped that their rights would be respected after winning the election by such a large margin. But instead the instances of harassment, coercion and intimidation increased. Just as alarming is that the company continues putting the workers’ health, safety and well-being at risk.
They’ll keep on suppressing organizing drives until it is no longer effective. If you are using their services or buying their products I’d suggest stopping.
