Syracuse University Parking and Transit Services employees today voted in favor of joining the Teamsters Union by a margin of 24 to 20.
A total of 45 staff members — full-time and regular part-time employees in the Parking and Transit Services Department who are parking lot attendants, parking control officers, data coordinators and office coordinators — were eligible to vote. Balloting took place from 8-11 a.m. in Hendricks Chapel.

At such time as the results are certified, the University will respect the results and work with the union to negotiate the collective bargaining agreement.
