Portland Nabisco workers lead strike that has now spread nationwide (via eaterpdx)
, the work stoppage has spread to Nabisco facilities in Richmond, Virginia and Aurora, Colorado as others join the fight against parent company Mondelez International. In Portland, members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers’ International Union Local 364 are also picketing outside the facility —reading “Don’t let this cookie crumble! Support the unions!” and “Portland is a union town!” — eliciting honks of support from drivers passing by on NE Columbia Boulevard.
The workers are fighting for a better contract amid concerns that Mondelez plans to eliminate a longstanding pay structure that offered overtime pay for weekend workers, or to workers that clocked in shifts over eight hours, regardless of the day. Under the new “alternative work schedule,” as, workers would be paid a “straight time” until they hit 40 hours a week, regardless of what days those are or how long their shifts last.
: “After years of Nabisco closing bakeries and moving thousands of BCTGM jobs to Mexico and threatening to move even more jobs to Mexico, our members are saying, ‘We’ve had enough and we’re not taking it anymore.’”
