The strike at Arbor Lodge New Seasons reached its seventh day as workers rallied to reinstate cashier Randy Foster, who was fired for allegedly violating Oregon break laws. Foster helped his legally blind coworker, which had been a common practice but resulted in his dismissal. His colleagues quickly joined him in protest, with other New Seasons locations also walking out in solidarity. The situation highlights the community's support for Foster, seen as a vital part of the store and union leadership.
"Mikey is legally blind, and has a really long commute home. If he's late it can be really dangerous for him. It has been common practice for months to let Mikey go home a few minutes early."
"My coworkers, customers, and so many people I didn't even know [have supported the strike]. We are standing together to demand the reinstatement of Randy."
