Hillsboro, Oregon – Workers at the Orenco Station New Seasons have secured dates for their
Union Election. Workers will be mailed ballots on August 11th and will have until September 1st
for their votes to be received by the NLRB.
“New Seasons workers are an unrelenting force and UFCW 555 is proud to be their union
home. The workers are united, we have the support of the community, and we are standing
strong in the face of management’s union busting attempts. These workers are leading the way
to a better future.” – Dan Clay, UFCW Local 555 Union President.
This union election comes after a months-long organizing campaign to provide workers at New
