Whitefish Mountain Resort Professional Ski Patrol Union members and supporters held a demonstration on the Whitefish viaduct Saturday morning after passing the one-year mark since patrollers first voted to unionize.
The union has engaged in contract negotiations with resort leadership since last July, with talks ongoing throughout the current ski season. Patrollers are seeking higher wages and increased benefits through the deal.
The goal of Saturday’s rally was to “engage the community and to have our greater ski industry examine where their values lie,” said David Kerner, vice president for the union and a fifth-year ski patroller who lives in Whitefish with his family.
