Waste Management of Alameda County received more good news Friday, a day after the company reached a tentative contract with its 481 locked-out drivers.

Oakland officials said at a City Hall press conference that the city will withdraw both its request for an injunction against the company and a request for penalties for a contempt-of-court charge.
