Why New Seasons' Workers Are Fed Up
Unions are being organically grown at our favorite neighborhood grocery stores, New Seasons Market (see what we did there?).
Alex Zielinski, the news editor for the Portland Mercury, has been following the unionization efforts of New Seasons’ workers. She’s brought us some stories (her articles got posted up in several New Seasons break rooms with heavy edits by management?!) and answers our burning questions – like, how is all of this going to affect their banana cake?
Any thoughts on what else we should be looking into? Reach out and drop us a line at (503) 208-5448, email us at portland@citycast.fm, or follow us on Twitter at @CityCastPDX.
