Windsor's residential trash collectors have voted 78% in favour of a strike, if necessary, to back contract demands.
The 44 employees at Green for Life Environmental, represented by Unifor Local 444, are looking for a first collective agreement.
Vice President of Unifor Local 444, Doug Boughner says the two sides are making progress and are scheduled to return to the negotiating table on Monday.
Money is the main issue in the contract talks. The workers currently earn between $16 and $21 an hour.
The City of Windsor hired the company eight years ago to collect garbage as part of a contract that continues until 2024.
