For years, the Horizon House in Seattle has been a retirement community founded on the progressive principles of the United Church Of Christ.
Unfortunately, something has changed.
Management’s new anti-worker agenda has included:
Demanding the anti-union regulation called ‘open shop’ to cripple workers’ ability to bargain for fair working conditions and living wages. This is one of the same anti-union regulations the Governor of Wisconsin has been using to dismantle public-sector unions there.;
Refusing to offer a fair wage increase that would keep up with the rising costs of living. Managers say their wages are frozen, but that’s after they took huge increases and bonuses on top of their six-figure salaries.
Forcing workers to attend mandatory anti-union meetings. Management’s anti-union pressure has seemed more like Wal-Mart, than that of a communtiy founded on UCC principles.
WinPower is helping the health care workers at Horizon House with a new website at: http://www.horizonhouseseattle.com/.
You will also see new facebook ads (see graphic) and Google ads urging the retirement center to treat it’s workers fairly. Let’s hope they hear our message.
