Breaking! Our sisters and brothers in Kern County Chapter voted overwhelmingly YES, 95%, in favor for their Winter Recess Tentative Agreement! "This kind of ...unity shows that when it counts, we can win victories like Winter Recess. Your bosses nor department heads didn't produce this victory, in fact, your bargaining team had to fight to keep this on the table.
