NAPE held a rally Thursday afternoon in support of members at Choices for Youth’s The Lilly, who have been on strike since Tuesday.
NAPE President Jerry Earle says workers simply want to be able to return to work under a fair deal. He’s optimistic that a solution can be reached if both sides agree to meet at the negotiation table.
He says this has been one of the toughest rounds of collective bargaining that he has seen, which is surprising considering the fact that Choices for Youth is a non-profit organization. Earle believes recent conversations are a step in the right direction, but there has to be a discussion.
