Join us on the picket line in protest of unsafe, unfair labor practices!
New Seasons unilaterally removed paid sick leave for workers with COVID-19. Our COVID-positive coworkers shouldnāt have to choose between making rent and endangering their community. Show up for your coworkers and community on the picket line at the following locations. Bring an umbrella and a jacket. Schedule below.
At 5:00pm on January 29th 2023, the Slabtown Front End department walked out in protest of unfair labor practices, presenting Slabtown's store manager with the following letter:
1. The company will use language that āthird-partiesā the union.
NSLU is an independent union of you and your coworkers from across the company.
The union eļ¬ort is entirely run by New Seasons workers.
2. The company may claim that you already have a say in the business.
In the past, entire departments have been eliminated without consulting the workers. After we win our election, changes like these become mandatory bargaining subjects which the company is legally required to negotiate over with workers.
Workers at New Seasonsā Seven Corners store in Southeast Portland officially moved to unionize Friday after filing paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board. Store employees say they want to form a union to have a voice in company negotiations, particularly when it comes to wages and benefits.
