We filed for recognition of our union!

We wanted to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who signed an authorization card to form our new union and give a special shout out to everyone who helped gather signatures or talked to their coworkers about unionizing. On Friday, April 26th, we officially submitted our application for certification to the state labor board!

Last Chance to Sign a Card!

We will be submitting our cards to the Employment Relations Board to gain legal recognition of our union on Friday, April 26th!
