New Seasons Labor Union Strike Continues
(Portland, OR) -- The New Seasons Labor Union strike is entering its tenth day. Employees of the grocery chain are picketing in protest of the firing of their union treasurer. The company fired 19-year veteran employee Randy Foster late last month for helping a blind coworker. The union says Foster was written up twice for minor policy violations while helping the blind coworker over the past two months. Foster was then fired January 28th for helping the blind coworker shut down his register while he was on break. The union says the company targeted Foster for termination because of his leadership role within the union.
