The CertainTeed strike schedule has been adjusted to be Monday through Friday from 6:00 am-6:00 pm.
Current needs are honking horns and snack food items for people to grab. We do have a tentative meeting scheduled for Tuesday so having big numbers down here would be appreciated for Monday from 9:00 am -12:00 pm and Tuesday between the hours of 9:00 am-12:00 pm to send the company a solid message.
There are roughly 25-30 strikers on two 6-hour shifts, and 3-4 LIUNA staff here at all times. Any help and support between 6:00 am-6:00 pm are appreciated.
Rick Ohmie is a good contact to call from Local 737 (503) 300-8031. We have three strike captains: Luke (541) 971-5643, Phil (503) 396-3429, and Josh (503) 307-2974, that can be contacted if you're wanting to call before heading down to the strike location. Certain Teed address is 6350 NW Front Ave, Portland, OR 97210.
Some of the things that the members have mentioned that would be appreciated:
- Hot food like pulled pork, soups, and chili. (If you bring a crock pot just have it labeled so we can return it.)
- Soft drinks, bottled water
- hot dogs for cooking on the fire, maybe marshmallows
- individually packaged snacks for grabbing and walking the line
Any help would be wonderful, so come on down and support our labor family!
