Park City Mountain Resort ski patrollers will be getting a year-end bonus after all, joining the rest of their colleagues after agreeing Friday to reenter an employment contract in a short-term fix that sets terms for the rest of this ski season.
The parties also agreed to continue negotiating for a longer-term solution, agreeing to bargain for a new, multi-year deal.
The president of the union, Joe Naunchick, claimed PCMR owner Vail Resorts deliberately used the bonuses to try to gain leverage in negotiations that have stretched on since August.
“It was a shame that the company used this bonus as a bargaining tool,” Naunchik said. “Every employee that interacted with guests deserved this bonus, whether they were unionized or not. … It was a bargaining tactic by Vail to see what they could extract from the union.”
