Park City ski patrol union overwhelmingly votes to authorize a strike if negotiations fail with Vail Resorts

“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.”

Good for them. Unionize.

$13.25/hr for THE MOST IMPORTANT employees on the mountain. Ridiculous

Living wage and a start/end date for all seasonal employees!

ozskier Good luck union brothers and sisters!

Ski Patrol Jobs should pay $50 an hour full benefits at least, it’s not like Vail Resorts couldn’t afford it.

Protest until Vail has left the state.

liftblog I always thought Ski Patrol were volunteers.

Did I read that right? They are the LOWEST paid VailResorts employees in all of park city? The liftees, food staff, ticket counter are paid more than patrol?! VailResorts should be embarrassed and offer a bonus to them for even sticking around. Shameful
