Union Calls for Fred Meyer Boycott!
Local 555 members at Fred Meyer completed their ULP strike, and now the union is calling on all of us to uphold the previous picket lines through a consumer boycott of Fred Meyer “until a fair agreement is reached and Fred Meyer’s admitted price gouging has stopped.” Read more here.
24/7: Boeing Workers on Strike – Join the Picket Line!
Machinists (IAM) are standing strong on Boeing picket lines in Portland and across the Pacific Northwest – Join the 24/7 picket line!
On Monday, Boeing put out a deal that wasn’t negotiated with IAM, failed to meet workers’ needs, and that the workers wouldn’t have been able to vote on anyway. This cynical tactic calls into question Boeing’s commitment to bargaining in good faith.
For decades, Boeing has used its economic power to stagnate wages, strip Machinists of their pensions, and raise their healthcare costs. Workers are on strike, fighting for what they deserve – better wages, better health care, better safety assurances, and pushing back on being squeezed by Boeing which has directly led to its crises.
We need to keep the pressure on Boeing. Please join workers to walk the picket line, and show your support online!
24/7 PICKET LINES:
Boeing Plant, 19000 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland
Boeing Paint Hangar, 4635 NE Cornfoot Rd, Portland

This November, Portlanders have the opportunity to elect a whole new City Council. BerniePDX is proud to endorse a slate of candidates who will champion tenants’ and workers’ rights, climate justice, and truly affordable housing in our city. These candidates believe that City Hall should take an active role in supporting our underfunded schools, teachers, and students. They will fight back against the influence of corporations like Zenith in city decision-making.
Our candidates are committed to housing the unsheltered members of our community and expanding the Portland Street Response, so that all Portlanders in need can access this vital service. They will also hold police accountable for their actions and increase oversight of the Portland Police Bureau.
BerniePDX is proud to endorse the above candidates for Portland City Council, who are committed to fighting for the people and bringing this vision of our city to life.
