Salisbury residents, you did it! You answered your door, took time to listen, put pen to paper and stood shoulder to shoulder with us, to stare tyranny right in the face. You told this administration that collective bargaining isn’t the enemy, it’s a solution. A solution to a fair, equitable workplace. One where employees feel stability and a real sense of pride in the direction of their career .

Collectively, we turned in 7,503 signatures, of which 5,818 have been vetted, cross referenced and verified by the Wicomico County Board of Elections. Far exceeding the required number of registered city voting residents to surpass the threshold to be placed on a referendum ballot question.

To every individual who took time out of their lives to walk the street, knock doors and make sure the people who truly matter in decision making, the citizens, were informed, we say THANK YOU! What we accomplished in less than 40 days was nothing short of impressive.

WE WILL SEE YOU AT THE POLLS

Yesterday, members braved triple digit temperatures, once again hitting the streets collecting petition signatures. As we close in on the end of our 40 day campaign to save collective bargaining, we want to say thank you! Thank you to the members of the IAFF and AFSCME who took to the streets, putting in the work day in, day out. Thank you to the citizens. We’ve met with so many of you face to face over the last 3-4 weeks and your unwavering support has meant the world to keeping our spirits up. As the Monday July 6th deadline approaches, we look forward to sharing good news with you, as the process of validation proceeds. Again, THANK YOU Salisbury for having our backs !

Oh, how eerily identical this scenario is to ours here locally. We will not give up. We will fight!

Your Signature, your opinion, your voice matters! Tonight we were out in Districts 1 & 2 knocking doors, getting signatures and hearing the overwhelming support that you, the citizens have for us in this fight.

We hear you, we appreciate you and we’ll continue to fight right along side of you.

Thank you Salisbury

Our members have shown up every hour of every day. Rain, snow, extreme heat, risking our lives for complete strangers. Yet we face betrayal and only empty words of encouragement from inside our own government.

🚨Attention Salisbury and surrounding residents. Your Salisbury Mayor and city council are moving forward with legislation to strip your city workers of collective bargaining rights.
This is a move in the complete wrong direction as it relates to your safety. Bargaining rights help ensure well trained employees both remain in our city, as well as aspire to come work here. Taking away the very rights we fought so hard to obtain just two years ago, will likely drive good employees elsewhere. Places they feel appreciated and respected.
We ask that you take 30 seconds , scan the QR code on this flyer, to send a message directly to every city council member. Telling them that you admittedly oppose stripping your city employees of collective bargaining rights.

Today, our firefighters are out across District 1 having real conversations with residents about something that directly impacts public safety, collective bargaining.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about making sure the people who keep Salisbury running—your firefighters, public works employees, and city staff—have a voice in their working conditions, safety, and ability to serve you effectively.
