More than 100 employees at Second Step have cast their votes in favor of taking industrial action due to ongoing wage concerns. The decision comes after months of negotiations between staff and management, with workers expressing dissatisfaction over their current pay rates and the rising cost of living.
Union representatives have stated that the workers feel undervalued and are demanding a fair wage that reflects their contributions to the organization. The strike is set to impact various locations across the West, potentially disrupting services and support provided by Second Step.
Employees have voiced their determination to stand firm in their demands, emphasizing the need for equitable compensation. The strike action is expected to commence in the coming weeks, with workers planning to rally and demonstrate their solidarity. As the situation develops, both management and employees will need to engage in further discussions to reach a resolution that addresses the concerns raised by the staff.
