The petition for Labor & Trades has been filed!
On Thursday, February 16th at 12:30 PM Teamsters Local 322 officially filed a petition with the Richmond City Labor Administrator to initiate an election for the Labor & Trades bargaining unit. In the coming weeks, Labor & Trades employees will receive a ballot in the mail which will be used to vote for your union. This has been a long time coming, and we are as excited as you are to start the bargaining process!
In the coming weeks, you will be contacted by Teamster representatives. They will walk you through the voting process and discuss the next steps in the bargaining process after you elect us as the bargaining agent for your union. There is a lot of information, and we want to keep you involved and informed in the process! If you have questions, now is the time to get them answered.
The most important thing right now, is to ensure that your correct address is on file with Richmond City. This will ensure you get your ballot in the mail. If you have to update your address, you can do so by contacting Richmond City Human Resources at (804)646-5660 or by logging into the "RAPID" address update system.”
