Labor Council and many unions,
captured nearly 58 percent of the
vote. The measure does not in-

training facility in the Cully
neighborhood and expand the
health technology building at its

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.
