Quinn Graves of Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association on the union's fight for a living wage. Proudly unionized since 2000, PCPSA is part of United Mountain Workers - CWA Local 7781. They've voted to authorize a strike. Will it happen? RadioACTive finds out.

  • "[...] as I drive by the ski patrollers and their practice picket lines on the corner of my block at 15th and Park Avenue. Respect is a Livable Wage; Patrollers Protect you! Who Protects Us?; Burgers $25, Patrollers $21; Vail’s 2023 Profit = 1.22 billion; Striving to live where we work; Park City Cost of Living is 258% Greater Than National Average, are a few of the messages on their handlettered signs." — Betty Diaries: You’re so Vail, you probably think this town is about you (Park Record, Dec. 7, 2024)

Katy Hogge of AFSCME Local 1004 and Bryce of SLCPL Workers United on the latter's fight to unionize SLC Public Library workers. If successful, it would be the first library system in Utah to do so.

Tara Benally of Stewardship Utah, where she is a San Juan County organizer. Public lands may be on the chopping block with the next presidential administration, not to mention Utah's lawsuit to "Let Utah Manage Utah Land."

Turner Bitton and Tanner Visnick of Salt Lake Neighbors 4 More Neighbors, a nonprofit with a rezone request aimed at increasing homeownership opportunities on SLC's west side. 

  • "The Starter Homes SLC initiative by SLC Neighbors for More Neighbors is designed to meet Salt Lake City's housing needs by proposing zoning reforms to facilitate the construction of starter homes, infill developments, and single-family attached homes within established neighborhoods. This text amendment seeks to support Salt Lake City’s efforts to create attainable housing in existing single-family neighborhoods and to implement recommendations contained in Potential Approaches to Simplifying and Improving R-1 Districts."
