We have been informed that Jerry’s is aware of tomorrow’s action and has arranged towing services to remove the vehicles of anyone who shows up to stand in support of workers’ rights and the common man. Bring it on, Dennis!
As a reminder, do not park on Jerry’s property. There is plenty of alternative parking at the Springfield location, and we recommend carpooling to the Eugene location. We will be demonstrating (bannering) along Olympic and Highway 99, both of which are public property. Even though Dennis Orem and Jerry’s appear to want to side with Bigfoot Beverages in their illegal union-busting tactics, we hold them accountable.
Also, as most of you probably know, we are expecting rain tomorrow. Please dress accordingly and stay dry. — and remember Justice isn’t afraid of a little rain!
Picket Locations for Friday, January 31st at 4pm.
- 2525 Olympic St. Springfield
- 2600 OR-99, Eugene
Why are we holding an action at Jerry’s
Why are we holding an action at Jerry’s? Because Dennis Orem sits on the Board of Directors at Summit Bank alongside Andy Moore, a co-owner of Bigfoot Beverages—a company that has been engaging in illegal union-busting tactics for over 130 days as it tries to crush its workers’ union and seize their pension. Jerry’s also does business with Bigfoot. The only way to stop the wealthy and powerful from destroying unions and trampling on the rights and dignity of working men and women is to hold them accountable.
I don’t believe that simply being rich and successful makes someone a bad person. However, if you stand by and allow someone you do business with to break the law, abuse their workers, and spit in the face of the very community in which they operate, then you condone their behavior and are just as guilty as they are.
There are no neutrals here!
