Park City mountain ski patrol is on #strike.
They want to start at $23 (from $21). Ski patrol save lives with advanced first aid, get injured skiers off the mountain, and perform avalanche mitigation.
In a town with sky high rent, this is a tiny ask.
Vail Corp needs to pay a living wage, but had instead brought in a skeleton crew of scabs who do not know the local terrain, endangering guests and employees.
Please share and support.

the scabs are immigrants wanting a better life and willing to take a lower pay than they are worth for the opportunity
Thing about being a scab is you’re in an even more precarious position than the original worker. Your job goes away the minute the strike ends, and your right to be in the country along with it.
What you’ve taken is a zero hour temp job with more duties and virtually no training, specifically to undermine someone else’s effort to win a raise.
This is slavery with extra steps. . . .
The end goal of any capitalist enterprise is to maximize profits. And zeroing out labor costs is part of that.
