Shoofly Vegan Bakery and Cafe, a well-loved Portland establishment, faced a walkout by its employees on May 2 over delayed paychecks. Workers had reported pay delays starting April 18 without prior notice, culminating in a unanimous decision to walk out. The discontent was further fueled by dissatisfaction with the new owner, Tien Vominh, who had made significant operational changes within just three months of taking over from the original owner, Shannon Levens. The bakery, known for its vegan pastries, had built a solid reputation in the community since its opening in 2016.
The walkout was catalyzed by delayed paychecksâfirst delayed on April 18 without noticeâleading to a unanimous decision by the bakers and baristas.
Workers express general dissatisfaction with the new ownership, as the current owner, Tien Vominh, has made major alterations to operations in just three months.
