Virginia Beach City Workers Union, UE Local 111 - City Council Chambers - City Hall, Virginia Beach, VA
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. took his last stand supporting city workers in Memphis, Tennessee demanding the right to collectively bargain. The 1,300-strong sanitation workers’ strike in 1968 was sparked by the deaths of two Black city workers who had been crushed on the job by a malfunctioning truck.
As the nation celebrates the King holiday, the Virginia Beach City Workers Union, UE Local 111 will honor his real legacy as we request that the Virginia Beach City Council pass a resolution in support of Collective Bargaining.
"With the recent election of four new members to city council, city workers are hopeful that 2023 will be a year of big changes, including the passage of a resolution in support of collective bargaining," stated Terry Green, Chair of the Virginia Beach City Worker Union, UE Local 111 and a Utility Mechanic II in Water Distribution, Public Utilities Department.
