Rally and Shop Union Day Planned: Nov. 2nd

RALLY AND SHOP UNION DAY AT POWELL'S BOOKS

Seven years after organizing and two contracts into the struggle, ILWU Local 5 and Powell's Books went into negotiations for contract #3. However this time at the table, the union team was greeted with reasonable talks and a conciliatory message. Just three short months later, we reached a tentative agreement that included fair wages, wage increases and improvement on benefits including health care. We are currently working on the contract ratification vote. In anticipation of a vote to affirm the contract, we are planning a celebration rally and shop union event. After the rally, everyone is encouraged to show Powell's that a good labor relations policy will be rewarded. Start your holiday shopping early; buy a book after the rally and then join us in the Local 5 hall for warm libations, snacks and celebration!

WHEN: November 2^nd starting at 5:30pm
