Porland, OR: Portland Pickets In Support of IWW Burgerville Workers Union

Tonight, Portland residents joined with Burgerville Workers Union members to picket outside of a Burgerville store to demand that the corporation begin negotiations with workers.

The picket is only the latest in a series of actions, pickets, and strikes which have attempted to put pressure on the local burger chain to meet workers demands of a living wage and improvements in overall conditions.

In a post about the picket on Facebook Burgerville Workers Union wrote:

In the year and a half since going public the union has only gotten stronger, but corporate still refuses to negotiate. Come out in support of Burgerville workers and show the company what they’re up against until the day they start treating their workers with respect.
