STRIKE IS OVER!!

Posted August 9, 2024

After a long, hard fight, the strike is over! Whether you were on the Yes or No side, I’m happy to see our members back working. This was by far the longest strike I’ve seen in my career and after this long hard fight. I feel we came out farther ahead than before we started the strike. I’m Proud we stood together during this fight and will continue to do so in the future.
