Mayor Nann Worel issued a statement on behalf of the Parky City council in regards to the ongoing ski patrol strike between the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association and Vail Resorts. Mayor Worel’s statement is short and lacks any clear path to resolution but does call on Vail Resort to “call to take immediate action to conclude negotiations and end the uncertainty.“
Yesterday was the 11th of the ski patrol strike. Vail Resorts officials and the union are scheduled to meet for a mediation session today. We will be sure to update when there is information available about today’s meeting. Read the Mayor’s statement below:
“The Park City Council and I recognize that resort communities face significant livability challenges – and it is the workforce that all too often shoulders the weight of today’s economic pressures. Supporting a professional workforce is essential to the health, safety, and vitality of our town.
After yet another weekend of confusion and disruption due to the unresolved labor dispute at Park City Mountain, the City Council and I urgently call on Vail Resorts to take immediate action to conclude negotiations and end the uncertainty.
Park City Mountain is a cornerstone of Park City’s community well-being, and it is Vail Resorts’ responsibility as an essential employer to resolve this conflict without further delay.
As we stand by ready to assist in any way necessary to help bring this matter to a resolution, we humbly ask everyone for civility and respectful behavior toward each other during this challenging time.”
