Virginia Beach city workers are on a road map to making history !!!!!
Members of the Virginia Beach City Workers Union, UE Local 111 put in hard work during the past few months, volunteering to work the polling sites, distributing yard signs and speaking at churches in support of endorsed city council candidates. In the end it was a major VICTORY for city workers as we move closer to a Collective Bargaining REALITY.
With the victory of the four candidates we endorsed – Jennifer Rouse, Worth Remick, Joash Schulman and Amelia Hammond – we now have secured the SIX SEAT MAJORITY ON CITY COUNCIL to pass a resolution and ordinance for Collective Bargaining (including incumbents Sabrina Wooten and Michael Berlucchi).

“In order to change Virginia Beach Jim Crow laws you have to educate yourself and engage in the political process and build relationships with city council members who will support Collective Bargaining for city workers. It is a new day in Virginia Beach because workers have a majority of city council who will support Collective Bargaining and WE will continue to fight for the changes city workers need!”
