Oregon Farm Worker Ministry serves farm workers and their supporters in the Northwest, including Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste (PCUN) and the United Farm Workers (UFW). You can get involved with our work. Contact us at the phone or email below to find out how!
Oregon Farm Worker Ministry is supporting the efforts of nearly 100 Beef Northwest workers from Nyssa and Boardman Oregon, and Quincy, Washington. The majority of the workers have signed cards for union representation. They are seeking company neutrality in check card elections and binding arbitration for a contract when representation is won.
