Our Work. Our Contract. Our Fight.
Do you believe we deserve fair pay, safer jobs, and strong, fair, and forward-looking unit contracts that reflect the essential work we perform and the value we bring to the communities we serve? Have you signed the petition yet? How many of your coworkers have signed?
Become part of the win. Sign the petition and talk to your coworkers one by one about signing today.
Join our next meeting, Monday June 1 at 7 pm, to review our petition, and map out together how we'll build our strong majority support, mobilize, and win -- together!. RSVP here.
