Employees of the Slabtown New Seasons Location Are Pursuing a Union | Eater Portland

"I learned that employees at the Slabtown New Seasons have announced intentions to unionize, citing chronic understaffing and unreasonable expectations; as one employee, Hans Heintze, put it, “I can’t remember the last day we were fully staffed.” Staff say problems persisted for months despite a CEO visit that scorned conditions on the sales floor and a subsequent manager huddle urging everyone to work harder. The company says it is actively trying to fill open positions — hosting job fairs, offering hiring bonuses, and promoting job ads on social media — and released a statement that it respects employees’ right to consider union representation." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
