Salisbury Voters Decide Collective Bargaining | Dover News

Wicomico County’s Board of Elections has certified a petition with nearly 6,000 valid signatures demanding collective bargaining rights for city workers and first responders—after the City Council repealed the agreement in April. Three council members backed the repeal, but thousands of residents are pushing to put the issue back on the ballot. Mayor Randy Taylor insists the repeal was about fiscal responsibility, pledging to handle the process legally and respectfully. Under the city charter, the Council must either place this on the next regular election ballot or hold a special election. Ultimately, the fate of collective bargaining rests with Salisbury voters—majority support will be needed to restore union rights.
