Dear colleague, Tomorrow (Friday, March 24) at 4 p.m., we are holding a cross-union all-member town hall meeting to answer your questions about a possible strike and discuss the way forward to a fair contract.

We launched our vote on strike authorization yesterday morning, and within 24 hours, over a third of our members had cast a ballot. Now we need to hear from every other member. If you haven’t voted yet, …
