ESSN Alert

The Teamsters represent workers at Bigfoot Beverage, the primary soda supplier for the University of Oregon (UO). The company is currently in negotiations with its workers for a new collective bargaining agreement.

Instead of treating the workers fairly, the company is trying to take away the workers’ pensions and force them to accept an expensive, far riskier 401(k) plan. Bigfoot has also retained fisher Phillips, one of the most vicious anti-union law firms in the country.

Bigfoot loves to tout itself as a benefactor of our university and our community. So why is big foot currently trying to take away pensions from workers throughout Western Oregon?

Bigfoot Beverage’s abuse of its workforce goes against the values of UO and our campus community. Join us in calling on the UO Board of Trustees to sever ties with Bigfoot Beverage unless they company lets workers retain their pension plan.

  1. thank you for informing the community — I just sent a message to the board of trustees — as a UofO alumni calling on them to cut ties with Bigfoot Beverage unless they protect worker’s pensions. Worker abuse has no place on our campus.
