The GEO members at the Feb 23 Membership Meeting voted 228-1 in favor of approving the strike platform as proposed and authorizing the Stewards’ Council to send out strike ballots through the mail to all union members. They also approved an action timeline including a one-day walkout on Thursday, March 24 and a potential open-ended strike to begin on Monday, April 2.
Assuming the mail ballot comes back with an affirmative majority, the GEO membership will reconvene at a meeting on Wednesday, March 23 to consider the Administration’s final offer and decide whether to accept it or to follow-through with the walkout.
All GEO members in good standing will receive a ballot in the mail–please contact the office at 995-0221 if you have any questions.
