Portland Burgerville Employees have voted to become the Nation’s first Fast Food Union
Burgerville workers at the chain’s 92nd and Powell Street location just voted 18-to-4 to unionize. The store is now the only fast food union in the nation with formal recognition.
Members of the Burgerville Workers Union have been campaigning for over two years to receive recognition from management. Earlier this month, the company announced that it would allow workers at the Southeast Portland store to vote in a National Labor Relations Board-administered election.
“We started the BVWU to try to make things better for ourselves and our coworkers,” says Mark Medina, a worker at the Southeast Portland location. “The union is about workers standing up for each other and building a better world.”
BVWU, which is part of the international union group the Industrial Workers of the World, hopes to negotiate a raise of $5 an hour for hourly employees, consistent scheduling, child care and affordable healthcare.
The Glorious day of Next Tuesday™ is about to be upon us! Wait, this is Tuesday, is it already here?

BVWU, which is part of the international union group the Industrial Workers of the World…Maybe the store in Gladstone can join the UAW or, better yet, the United Steelworkers.

Oh joy, the Wobblies (IWW) are back! Oh frabjous day! Now perhaps we will advance even more quickly to Next Tuesday.™ Indeed, this news is enough to make me feel all ... wobbly.Yes, the Wobblies are very popular in the People's Republic of Portland. They are the only ideologically pure of the original Communist labor organizations, you know. It was they who denounced the AF of L and the CIO as "fascists" back in the day.
Because, though the AFL and CIO were Communists, they weren't Communist enough.
