“We have received reports of illegal and sometimes violent activity in the beginning hours of the strike by Portland City Laborers. While I support the rights of employees to exercise their right to strike legally, aggressive behavior and intimidation of any form is absolutely unacceptable. I will do all I can to ensure that our employees who are working, the public, and City property are protected and safe. I appreciate all the employees of the City and especially those who are showing up to work to ensure our City continues to provide essential services.”
