Many of you are aware that workers at
Laurelhurst Village nursing home on 33rd
and Stark have been organizing a union at
their facility since late February in order to
improve the living and working conditions at
their nursing home. Workers had built a
majority in support of the union by late
March when Laurelhurst management
took drastic measures to curtail their campaign.

Workers have been written up, suspended,
and one employee was fired for union activity.
Elizabeth Lehr was fired only three days after
demonstrating public support for the union while
attending a delegation to the employer to show
support for a fellow coworker who was also
disciplined for union activity.
