Portland Jobs with Justice Annual Scrooge Party Portland Jobs with Justice will name its ‘Scrooge of the Year’ Dec. 9 at its annual potluck award party. The event is held at SEIU Local 49, 3536 SE 26th Ave., Portland. The award is voted on by the community and is given each year to a boss, a politician, a corporation, or some other deserving institution that has been particularly nasty in the past year. The voting process for the award holds true to the American democratic system — the election is for sale! Individuals can purchase as many votes as they want ($1 per vote) and they can vote for as many candidates as they want. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Twenty votes comes with the pur- chase of each admission ticket. This year’s nominees are: 1) AT&T Mobility, for stalling on contract bargaining and negoti- ating with workers in bad faith for over a year. 2) Freedom Foundation, for push- ing anti-worker legislation, and for attacking and harassing local union members. 3) Kay Toran, CEO of Volunteers of America, for paying workers minimum wage while earning over $200k per year, and for re- fusing to come to the table and negotiate with the newly formed workers’ union. 4) Mondelez-Nabisco, for out- sourcing factory jobs to coun- tries with more lenient labor laws where they can avoid union labor and increasingly exploit workers for greater profits. 5) Sen. Rod Monroe, for being a landlord Democrat who took lobby money and effectively killed all renters’ rights legisla- tion during the 2017 Oregon state legislative session. 6) Tom Mears, Chairman of Burgerville Parent Company, The Holland Inc., for being the master of Burgerville’s year and half long anti-union campaign.
