Don't let JC Penney, Burlington Coat Factory or Sally Beauty Supply support worker and retiree abuses! Oak Harbor Freight Lines workers in Oregon, Washington and Idaho were forced to strike on September 22 in protest of the freight company's violations of U.S. labor laws, as well as hostile efforts by the company to intimidate workers. A day later, Oak Harbor took the outrageous step of cutting off health care benefits to its workers and retirees. Instead of negotiating with striking workers in good faith, Oak Harbor has imported teams of professional strikebreakers to coerce and scare loyal long-time employees. Workers have been on strike for more than two months now! Several of Oak Harbor’s largest customers have supported the move to replace striking workers and cut off health care benefits to retirees. REI, Urban Outfitters, and other companies have elected to suspend their relationship with Oak Harbor until the company finds a just and lasting resolution to the ongoing labor dispute. Several faith-based, student, community organizations and global union federations have called on JC Penney, Burlington Coat Factory and Sally Beauty to suspend their relationships with Oak Harbor. Unfortunately, they continue to ignore workers' rights abuses and use Oak Harbor to transport merchandise. Tell JC Penney, Burlington Coat Factory and Sally Beauty Supply: We won’t stand for worker abuse! If you would like to view details on this alert, please visit here. |
