The St. Joseph School District maintenance and custodial staff voted overwhelmingly Tuesday not to join a union.

District workers voted 2-to-1 against having the Educational Support Professional (ESP) union, an affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA), represent them at the bargaining table. Out of 146 school district maintenance and custodial staff, 136 members voted in the election. Ninety-four staff members voted against the union, while 45 were in favor.

Doug Flowers, director of human resources, said the vote was an affirmation of the good relationship the district has with its employees.
