Maintain Essential Services!

Tell City Council: Don’t Force a Strike !

Community March and Rally

Sat. Feb. 5, 2pm

City Hall to the 1900 Building

1221 SW 4^th to 1900 SW 4^th

The “1900 Building” is home to the City’s Bureau of Developmental Services (BDS).

Every Portland construction project requires multiple permits and inspections by BDS.

A strike of BDS workers would immediately shut down construction all over the city, laying off thousands of electricians, carpenters, plumbers, painters, laborers and other essential workers. The construction of much needed housing would grind to a halt, and BDS is already telling contractors they would have no ability to maintain permit operations.

The City Council has refused to settle a fair contract with City workers, represented by the District Council of Trade Unions (DCTU). The City’s “last-and-final offer” leaves City workers with a 5% wage cut.

We Demand Essential Wages for Essential Workers!
