Friday, June 3, 11:30am – 1:00pm
Meet on sidewalk near Salmon Street Springs Fountain
SW Salmon St. and SW Naito Parkway, Portland, OR
Join ILWU Local 21 and their supporters from across Oregon,
Washington and California as we deliver the “Respect the
Union Waterfront” message to EGT Development at a rally
outside EGT’s corporate office in downtown Portland, OR.
EGT is a grain exporter made up of multi-nationals Bunge,
STX Pan Ocean and Itochu. They’ve built a $200 million grain
terminal in Longview, WA, and have not yet signed a collective
bargaining agreement with the International Longshore
and Warehouse Union.
EGT needs to get back to the negotiating table with ILWU
Local 21 and meet this simple demand: that EGT follow the
same rules that every other grain terminal respects under the
Northwest Grain Handlers Agreement.
