Why Now?
This strike pledge is an important action to show that we are serious about moving negotiations forward and that you are willing to fight for a fair, equitable contract.
We’re fighting for a fair deal, respect for our work, and a secure future.
Our contract is about more than wages. It’s about schedules, telework, layoff protections, and keeping up with the cost of living.
If the City continues to stall on our contract, we may have to move towards a strike.
It’s time to Sign the Strike Pledge to unite with your coworkers and settle this contract! Every signed pledge demonstrates our power, our unity, and our strength.
Important Details:
- The strike pledge is not a strike authorization. Your collective action in signing the pledge strengthens our power at the bargaining table, letting the City know you are willing to go on strike, if needed.
- Any member can sign a strike pledge. In the future, only card-signed members can vote on a strike authorization.
- If you haven’t signed your union card yet, it is important that you sign your card!
- The strike pledge is an internal, union document. We won’t be releasing the list of individual signers.
- Got questions? We want to know! Reach out to Jed at organizer@cppwunion.org
