Employees of the New French Bistro Alouette Have Unionized

Employees of Northwest Portland bistro Alouette are on strike and unionizing, alleging a “lack of support” from owner Wei-En Tan (Stem Wine Bar).

On Monday, July 18, a group of employees under the name Alouette United posted a statement on Instagram announcing their intention to unionize and describing their experience working at Alouette. “Our success in these first six weeks is a testament to the aptitude and professionalism of the staff,” the Instagram post reads. “This success has come at the cost to our physical and mental well being. As a result, we recognize that this business model is not sustainable and requires transformation.”
