Rite Aid Workers Are Taking A Stand for Hope

Rite Aid workers will vote on joining International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 26. Their election begins the evening of March 12.

They know the NLRB process is broken. They know they are playing with a deck stacked against them
and they insist on hoping anyway—because they have to.

When the workers at the Center began organizing two years ago, Rite Aid fired and disciplined union supporters and smeared their reputations. It has threatened and interrogated the workers and spread lies about the union. The NLRB stood poised to try the company on 49 violations of labor law. Rite Aid ducked and settled. The ILWU filed new charges. The Board threw them out.

The workers’ organizing committee decided to go to a vote because they have to hope. They have to see an end to working “at will.” To mandatory overtime piled on 10‐hour shifts. To punishing production quotas. To suffering through summers in a sweltering warehouse. They have to hope. A union contract can help make their hopes real. Come show them they don’t stand alone.
Come back them up— rally & make a HUMAN BILLBOARD
