Oregon Public Employees Under Attack, still...
SEIU #503's Director Heather Conroy sets Oregonian straight on so-called "Facts", 27-02-2013 - 00:16
Today the Oregonian ran yet another flawed, misinformed story this time flagging that Oregon PERS members benefits are more generous than those of neighboring states and making a stink that Oregon public workers don't contribute to their retirement based on a flawed study released by the Center for Public Policy at PSU.

Rogue Residents Against Walmart urges Walmart to Respect Workers
Rogue Residents Against Walmart (Worker Retaliation), 24-11-2012 - 22:25
RRAW, Rogue Residents Against Walmart is in the process of possibly changing our name to RRAWWR - Rogue Residents Against Walmart Worker Retaliation.
RRAWWR asserts that most of the workers get so few hours that they qualify for food stamps, get no health or pension benefits until they have been with the corporation so many years, and that the Walton family has accumulated as much wealth as nearly half the US population by depriving their workers of a living.

Undignified Corporate Takeover ➡ Ashland Community Hospital

Here is the latest on the "Corporate Takeover" in (so-called) progressive Ashland, Oregon!
Following you will find a well written update on how things stand regarding the current takeover of our community hospital. Our city council is run by the chamber of commerce and they line up time and time again to do the bidding for the 1%. The privatization of what we locally have owned continues and it hurts to see this happening not just here, but everywhere.

Health Care for All Oregon welcomes the survival of important patient protections and rights under today’s Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act.

These elements move the human right to health care in the U.S. forward.

Co-op Annual Report: Board Candidates a Loss for Labor
Jason Houk, News Director KSKQ and Jobs with Justice Organizer, 25-06-2012 - 04:14
(*Note from Rogue IMC volunteer: This is an ongoing saga about Union Busting illegally being conducted by the Ashland Food Co-op. The fiasco continues...)
The Co-op board has a duty to rein in the unlawful activities of their management staff. The National Labor Relations Board affirmed 13 unfair labor practice complaints and this is a MAJOR red flag that something is wrong.
It is certain that the co-op board would not tolerate theft by their General Manager and that accusations of sexual harassment or racism would be taken seriously. On the matter of violating labor laws and the rights of co-op workers, however, the board is painfully neglect in their
responsibility.

Ashland Food Co-op found in violation of federal labor law
HEY HEY, HO HO — UNION BUSTIN'S GOT TO GO!!, 09-03-2012 - 06:07
NLRB FINDS MERIT TO 13 UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE CHARGES AT ASHLAND FOOD CO-OP
Ashland, OR – March 8, 2012 - A majority of workers at Ashland Food Co-op have been united since June of 2011 to improve their working conditions by organizing a union with United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 555. Ashland Food Co-op management learned of workers’ desire to organize and reacted swiftly with heavy handed tactics to try and sway workers away from unionization. The Employer’s actions included soliciting and promising to remedy grievances, providing benefits to employees that it previously refused to provide, disciplining union activists, threatening employees with more severe discipline if they voted for a union, instituting a rule that prohibited employees from discussing the union and then enforcing this rule only against employees who supported the union, and soliciting employees to sign an anti-union petition
