THREAD: Last night @PCC's board hosted a board candidate forum. Not allowed: Donna & Laurae, the workers nominated by thousands of PCC members, and endorsed by @UFCW21 @UniteHereLocal8 @FaithActionWA @seiu775 @PrideatWork https://pccvoterguide.org/
Donna and Laurae were chosen by their co-workers to run for the board after PCC's CEO tried to kill hazard pay for their own frontline workers.

Earlier this week PCC management posted, then took down after complaints, this big sign featuring the candidates. Guess who was missing.
PCC says "The democratic control of PCC — one member, one vote — is a fundamental principle of all co-ops."

PCC board's argument against Donna & Laurae?
"Don't change horses in midstream"
Enough women on the board already
Not enough or the right experience
Even though...
Donna + Laurae =13 years experience working directly with PCC members, 80 years retail experience
