CPPW email – You voted YES! Overwhelmingly.

You voted YES! 93% voted YES to authorize a strike if necessary with a huge voter turnout of 88%.

You know what’s on the line — fair wages, respect at work, and a secure future. And you’ve made it clear you are ready to fight for a strong contract.

This vote doesn’t mean a strike is certain, but it does mean that you and your union colleagues acted together to show the City—with overwhelming clarity—that you’re prepared to. That you’re serious. That you won’t back down without a fair, strong contract.

This is critical for your Bargaining Team as they head into mediation on Oct. 22. You will hear more soon from your union leadership about what is coming next.
