UPEC Local 792 was asked to represent the Presidio Trust employees about 6 months ago. “We have met with Presidio management several times. It is clear to us that management has avoided coming to an agreement in the past and that is something we won’t tolerate. We will do whatever it takes to get an agreement that includes job security”, stated Darker.  Allen and Darker will continue to meet with Presidio Trust employees one on one through February 27th.
