This is classic "yellow union" speak from Portland Patrol Inc. Owner William Guidice. He opposes workers choosing their own union, but says he supports "self unionizing."
What he wants is a union run by the boss, so PPI can look better in grant bids without offering any better conditions or pay.

![“Everyone was very excited about this effort, and I vocally explained to the entire team how this would open new doors for PPI,” Guidice said.
In the end, it was the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that denied SRT members the right to unionize with the transit workers’ union. In March 2024, an NLRB hearings officer determined SRT staff are classified as guards, and thus ineligible to join ATU, which cannot legally represent both guard and non-guard employees. Despite Guidice’s claims of supporting his staff’s organizing efforts, PPI argued against the union during the NLRB hearing, maintaining its employees were guards.
“After presenting that decision to the team, I [told them] not to give up and that they could still self-unionized (sic) by filling out a form on the NLRB website,” Guidice told the Mercury.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h2ieofwj7ioch4dtdithpsnt/bafkreie5vsb3zu3azfk6wu44xhyn2zjy5zzou73sxessxsynvj335lmbye@jpeg)

New Seasons workers are getting a new contract (and a raise) for the holidays! It's been a real whirlwind reporting on this campaign for the past few years for @nwlaborpress.org but these workers stuck at the fight and really pulled off a big win.

Three years after a first union vote, New Seasons has a union contract that raises wages 6% to 16.5% and sets rules for humane scheduling.

Update: with a 98% vote of approval, NSLU has ratified their first contract with New Seasons Market. The union has ended their call for a boycott and avoided a strike during the holiday season. Full story to come in @nwlaborpress.org
NSLU won a $19/hr starting wage for clerks, a massive win in the local grocery industry. Fred Meyer starts at around $17 & non-union New Seasons are at $18 (tho we will see if the company raises those stores). The two sides were FAR away on economics as late as Dec 4.

My favorite movies from 2025, was lucky enough to see some really incredible Latin American films in CDMX.
