At ICCO, LLC, which owns a network of medical clinics in the Eugene area, the results of an Aug. 17 unionization election won’t be determined until the National Labor Relations decides what do to about 11 workers whose eligibility to vote was challenged.
Of the ballots that were counted, a slight majority of 72-70 favored joining Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 49.
Local 49 spokesperson Rae Dunnaville said workers want a union in order to win raises, adequate paid time off, quality affordable healthcare and a voice on the job.
Company management opposed the union effort, and held several mandatory and optional worker meetings with an anti-union agenda.
