Results of our Strike Authorization Vote

Last night our Strike Authorization Vote (SAV) closed at 11:59 PM. With more than 75% of our total bargaining unit voting in the election, 93% voted in favor of authorizing our elected Bargaining Committee the power to call a strike if circumstances warrant. We want to thank everyone who participated in our SAV and the months of discussion, debate, organizing, and outreach that led to this point.
