Portland’s Emerging Restaurant Unions and Labor Organizing Efforts | Eater Portland

"At the Old Town location employees founded a union in March 2020 and later won federal recognition (16–6), citing safety and pay concerns; workers walked off during the record-breaking June 2021 heat wave to protest excessive temperatures, the NLRB later found merit in claims that Voodoo illegally fired employees in retaliation, and staff continue to push for a contract to secure livable wages, better healthcare, increased safety, and consistent scheduling while also citing incidents like an armed intruder and staff being followed after shifts—facts that underscore ongoing safety worries at this tourist-famous shop known for maple blazer blunts and voodoo-doll doughnuts." - Eater Staff
