Monday, we delivered our nominations to get our two workers Donna Rasmussen and Laurae McIntyre on the ballot for the PCC Board of Trustees election. Workers, community partners, and union staff collected over 3,300 signatures for each candidate over the last month.

PCC has been pushing back on our efforts through the whole process from delaying on providing relevant information about the process to kicking PCC workers and union reps that were gathering signatures out of the stores. We believe these actions violate workers’ rights under the law and our union contract. We have taken legal action including filing a grievances and Unfair Labor Charges.

Next steps include PCC verifying the signatures that we delivered and official nomination of Donna and Laurae at the first annual co-op member meeting of 2021. We anticipate administration will continue to put more roadblocks in our path. 

We begin bargaining our union contract on January 6. Through our bargaining process we will be demanding dedicated worker seats on the Board.
