Salt Lake City — On a cloudy mid-April day, a large white box truck pulled up outside the Salt Lake County clerk’s office. Inside was a pallet of bankers boxes, each filled to the brim with paper packets.

Since 6 a.m., at clerks’ offices across Utah, teachers, firefighters and other public sector union workers had been lugging in cartloads of referendum petition signatures.

After Scot Baskett, a Salt Lake City firefighter, helped deliver a final load, he and his fellow organizers gathered to sing ​“Solidarity Forever.” Some raised signs that read ​“Protect Utah Workers,” the name of their 20-union coalition. Others raised their fists.
