Newspaper Page TextPAGE 8 | July 5, 2019 | NORTHWEST LABOR PRESS UNIONIZATION ] MAY-JUNE 2019 The following are Oregon and Southwest Washington workplaces where workers have decided whether to be represented by a union. The thumbs-up symbol means workers will be union- represented. Thumbs-down means they’ll be on their own. “Decert” means a decertification election, where union-represented workers voted whether to remain union. The information comes from the National Labor Relations Board and the Oregon Employment Relations Board.
