Beginning tomorrow morning, five different unions in Oregon will be on strike. There is no better opportunity for Oregon Labor to come together in solidarity and support every single worker on strike until every group, no matter the sector, wins the fair contract and dignity and respect they deserve on the job.
The Labor Movement was built by strikes and struggle and together we can ensure the current wave of labor action in Oregon leads to life-changing contracts and a more fair and just economy. We can ALL help do that by standing together alongside these brave workers at every picket line, every day until we win.
Here’s a breakdown of which unions are striking across the state:
