Your Bargaining Team’s goal — always — is a fair and strong contract. Building up to a strike and striking are two powerful tools in our toolbox to secure a strong contract.
Your union leadership understands a strike will be hard, stressful, and force difficult decisions. That isn’t taken lightly. We are right there with you & other members who may face challenging short term financial situations in order to secure greater long term stability. It will not be easy, but we can only do this together.
Members have said it best themselves: “I can’t afford to strike. But I can’t afford not to strike.”
No matter what, we must be prepared.
With that in mind, let’s dig into the fiscal reality of a strike, resources available, and the financials of the contract that impact our future security.
Important Note: Strikes are, by their nature, unpredictable and the future is unknowable.
