Nearly the entirety of the Park City ski patrol union has voted to strike if negotiations with Vail Resorts fail. The 98% support, said union business manager Patrick Murphy, is “about as strong a message as we can send.”
“However, it does show that our membership is prepared to participate in a work stoppage if necessary,” they continued. “We understand that a strike has significant consequences reaching far beyond our membership. ... Ideally the company sees this authorization an indicator of our collective strength and offers us a reasonable contract without requiring further action.”
Vail Resorts did not immediately return a request for comment after the union’s announcement on Monday. “Tonight, our bargaining committee will be meeting with the company for [our 50th] bargaining session,” he said, “and we are hopeful that the company sees this authorization vote as an indicator of our collective strength and presents a reasonable contract proposal.”
