Have a Heart Healthcare Online Vote: April 29 from 10am to 4pm

As a part of our union contract, we have set a limit on healthcare cost increases year to year of 10% (5% shared by the Employer, 5% shared by union members). Our healthcare costs have increased 12.3% (2.3% more than our contract covers). Members in good standing are encourage to participate in this online vote to maintain our existing healthcare coverage. Voting yes would increase the healthcare cost on employees an additional 2.3% on top of what the contract covers and would ensure we can maintain the existing coverage in our healthcare plan.

Vestis Laundry Workers Reject Contract, Approve Strike! Trabajadores de vestis laundry dicen no al contrato y sí a la huelga!

TRABAJADORES DE VESTIS LAUNDRY DICEN NO AL CONTRATO Y SÍ A LA HUELGA!

Después de dos días de votación, los trabajadores de Vestis votaron 100% a favor de autorizar una huelga.‍ ‍

Vestis debe tomar esto en serio. Los trabajadores merecen un contrato justo que mantenga su buen seguro médico, asegure una jubilación digna y ofrezca salarios que alcancen para el costo de vida que sigue subiendo.

Vestis Laundry Workers Reject Contract, Approve Strike! 

After two days of voting, 100% of Vestis workers voted to authorize a strike. 

Vestis needs to take this as a wake-up call. Workers deserve a fair contract that maintains their high-quality health care, delivers a dignified retirement, and provides a wage that keeps up with skyrocketing costs.

Vestis Contract & Strike Authorization Vote.

After months of negotiations with Vestis, our Union Bargaining team is calling for a contract vote on the company’s latest proposal from March 23, along with a strike authorization vote.

The company committed to responding to our latest proposal on Tuesday March 30 and failed to do so. They now say their financial team is still working on it. Meanwhile, workers are still waiting for real wage increases. Enough is enough.
