Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with any unions or organizing efforts.
The time is ripe for collective working-class action.
They are the reason we can ski the powder the Western U.S. is famous for.
Not to mention pretty much all of them would rip any line better than you could.
These professional ski patrollers collectively fighting for themselves are similar souls.
They are our hard-working neighbors who love skiing more than anyone.
Join the patrollers on the picket line if you live in the Park City/Salt Lake area.
And above all else, dont cross the picket line to scab for Vail Resorts.
It weakens unions bargaining positions, prolongs strikes, and divides the collective power of workers.
Dont be a scab for any employer!
Think about the meaning of worker solidarity.
Talk to people in person and have conversations about the value of labor.
The success of union efforts like this cascades throughout industries.
