Garbage plan on its way to Macon council

.........Waste Pro says it intends to employ all of the city workers for at least a year if they can pass a drug screen and pre-employment tests.
But it seems likely also that the company may pare down the size of the work force at some point beyond that first year.
"There's a lot of questions that are going to impact these employees and their families and this city," said Chip Warren, who represent many city workers in the Service Employees International Union.
He also wondered how older and mid-level employees would mesh their city pension contributions with Waste Pro's private retirement plan, and what the pre-employment tests might entail.
