(LANDER, WYOMING) – Earlier this year, Employers of Frontier Ambulance voted 22-to-2 to form a new Union with United Steelworkers (USW) in Lander, Wyoming, after a brief, hard-fought Union Campaign. 

It took nearly four months for Wyoming State AFL-CIO’s Executive Director Tammy Johnson to find a Union to try to organize them.

When Will Wilkinson, the USW Representative in Wyoming, drove to Lander, he got every Employee to sign a card within a week and scheduled a vote as soon as possible. 

The new Unit has a Bargaining Team set up and will has begun the process of negotiating a first contract.

When a contract is achieved, USW Officials said it will be groundbreaking, being the first new Union in the State of Wyoming in decades and possibly the first Health Care Union in the State’s history.
