Urban Ore Picket Line Reportback

On March 30th, at 900 Murray St., DSA members and Urban Ore workers held the picket line for a strike that started on March 22nd, demanding that the owners bargain in good faith with workers who formed a union with IWW IU 670 in April 2023. Despite claims since at least 2017 that they would like to transfer ownership to workers “as soon as possible,” the owners have been absent from or cancelled bargaining sessions and have not provided financial information necessary to bargain.

DSA SF Labor Board’s presence brought the picket line total to 15. Workers were able to deter about 50% of visitors from crossing the picket line. DSA SF also stood at the donation area at the back of the warehouse to encourage those unloading to take their salvage elsewhere. In addition to avoiding bargaining, the owners have threatened layoffs to keep the business afloat during the strike instead of coming to the table. The Urban Ore strike fund is currently at 91% of their goal and keeps costs low for workers. Please spread the word to support these courageous comrades and get them to 100%!

Behind the Scenes

The Chapter Coordination Committee (CCC) regularly rotates duties among chapter members. This allows us to train new members in key duties that help keep the chapter running like organizing chapter meetings, keeping records updated, office cleanup, updating the DSA SF website and newsletter, etc. Members can view current CCC rotations.
