Telluride Resort Strike Ends: Community Rallies to Support Workers
The ski patrol strike in Telluride, Colorado, has come to an end after thirteen days, following a vote by the seventy-five-member union to accept the latest offer from resort owner Chuck Horning. The walkout began in December due to wage disputes in a new three-year contract, leading to a total closure during the busy holiday season. Tensions escalated as local merchants and residents urged a quick resolution, fearing the impact on businesses and the community. The strike resulted in job losses, reduced occupancy, and financial struggles for local establishments. The resort plans to reopen with Lift four and more terrain, while community funds have surged to support affected families. This saga underscores the challenges faced by mountain towns, with growing wage disputes and union waves at fourteen resorts across the West. As Telluride rebuilds, leaders focus on marketing efforts and unity to attract skiers and heal deep divides between workers and wealth. Checkout Solipillow.com
