Collective Bargaining

Around 40 workers at the Burgerville near the Oregon Convention Center struck July 28-29 after negotiations with company leaders stagnated.

The coalition includes Burgerville Workers Union, Donut Workers United, Restaurant Workers of Portland, and Market of Choice Labor Union.

Culture

Burgerville Workers Union won one of the restaurant industry’s highest honors March 29: A James Beard Foundation award.

The Worker Center project of Portland Jobs With Justice is a response to an explosion of union interest among low-paid service workers.

The proposed bargaining unit covers all 37 non-management workers at the Burgerville at Southeast 26th and Powell Blvd.

The vote means the boycott of the chain is over, and union members are encouraged to patronize Burgerville, especially the union stores.

Roughly 100 workers at 5 Portland-area Burgerville locations are about to be the first fast food workers in America to have a union contract.
