Support Dosha Salon Workers!

From the AFL-CIO:

Aveda’s image as a socially and environmentally responsible company is outstanding. In Portland, Or., however, the story is a little different.

Charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board allege that salon workers at Dosha Salon Spa—an Aveda Lifestyle Salon—are being subjected to illegal surveillance, illegal threats and coercion and even being fired for supporting their union.

Here’s how you can support these workers:

1. Call Aveda President Dominique Conseil at 612-378-7404. Urge Aveda management to tell its local owner in Portland to reach a fair union contract with his workers at Dosha Salon Spa—an Aveda Lifestyle Salon.

2. Call Ray Motameni, the owner of Dosha Salon Spa, at 1-888-519-5424 (press 0 for the operator). Demand Mr. Motameni reach a fair contract with his workers.

With the help of their union, CWA Local 7901, salon workers have been trying to reach a fair and equitable agreement. But their boss, Ray Motameni, continues to put up resistance. It’s time for Mr. Motameni to come to the table and make things right.

Work connects us all. Please make these calls today to show your support.
