Park City Mountain ski patrollers are ready to strike if contract negotiations with Vail Resorts stall.
Members of the union representing the Park City Ski Patrol authorized a strike over the weekend, potentially putting Park City Mountain’s holiday operations in jeopardy.
“The strike authorization vote doesn’t necessarily mean we are going on strike,” she said. “But if the company forces us down that path, our unit is willing to stand together to secure a fair contract.” “The feedback that we’ve been getting as this drags on has been that our unit is tired of having to do this every two years,” Klingensmith said. “And we were really hoping that this negotiation would be different.”before the two sides could reach an agreement. The union also received authorization to strike during those negotiations and built up a “solidarity fund” of at least $65,000 to compensate patrollers on the picket line.
“We are deeply disappointed the union has decided to vote to authorize a strike after refusing to negotiate in good faith or discuss mediation on Thursday,” Walsh said in a statement emailed to The Salt Lake Tribune.
