Nothing says “Together - Strong,” like a union. Going on strike is a courageous act, but it places an incredible financial burden on union members who must rely on a fraction of their normal salary from a strike fund. Unions will need the help of the entire community to hold the line during a General Strike. We will need to support our community’s laborers as they grind the gears of this fascist machine to a halt.

Eugene Springfield Solidarity Network (ESSN)
The ESSN is the ultimate confluence of PEOPLE POWER in the Eugene/Springfield area.

”ESSN Jobs with Justice is a network of diverse organizations committed to building lasting power for working people. Unlike typical coalitions that form temporarily in response to a specific cause, campaign, or crisis, we strive to offer a permanent and inclusive infrastructure for solidarity and strategic collaboration.

Our network brings together labor unions, grassroots organizations, student groups, faith communities, and unaffiliated activists around shared values of economic justice, workers’ rights, and mutual aid. ESSN Jobs with Justice is not bound by a single issue. Instead, we work to create a Network designed as a durable vehicle for coordinated action, relationship-building, and long-term strategy.”

ESSN Jobs with Justice is having monthly virtual meetings about preparing for a General Strike.
Check out the ESSN calendar of events.

You can also join their General Strike Working Group by emailing essn@solidaritynetwork.org

1. SEIU and SEIU Local 503
   ”We are the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a union of about 2 million diverse members in healthcare, the public sector and property services who believe in and fight for our Vision for a Just Society: where all workers are valued and all people respected—no matter where we come from or what color we are; where all families and communities can thrive; and where we leave a better and more equitable world for generations to come.”

2. Oregon AFL-CIO
   ”We are workers from every community in Oregon. We are nurses, firefighters, educators, school employees, grocery workers, construction workers, steelworkers, and many more. We clock in everyday to make Oregon run.  We are the Oregon AFL-CIO, and we are Oregon Labor. The Oregon AFL-CIO is the statewide federation of labor unions representing over 300,000 working Oregonians.  We build power for workers through political campaigns during elections, legislative advocacy, and beyond.”
