With 58% of votes approving, DCTU members have narrowly voted in favor of accepting City Management's most recent proposal, which calls off our declared strike set for tomorrow, Thursday, February 10th at 9am. To be clear, with this result, we will not be going on strike.

For over 25 months our bargaining team has worked tirelessly to negotiate a strong contract on behalf of six distinct unions, with an amazing diversity of positions, departments and interests.

As we’ve stated in the past, we are greatly disappointed in the way the City conducted itself during bargaining, and our work to correct staffing issues will only ramp up upon completion of this contract.
