Yes I will. It is unfortunate that the workers at Fred Meyer are in this position. I unfortunately was in a Union for 22 years. Unions don't pull the bottom up, they pull the top down. The Unions and their Officers are corrupt. I will shop there "especially" if they are on strike.

Sorry if the workers vote to go on strike but no matter what they do we all still need to purchase food in order to eat.

I hear you. Are you positive there are no other options in your area for grocery shopping? Have you reached out to the grocer's union? They may have suggestions for people in your position.

Unions support the weak and lazy. Exceptional people rise to the top and don't need unions.

It is important to support these workers that are trying to make a better living. I would NEVER cross a picket line and I hope no one else will do that as well. Fred Meyer can afford a major remodel so of course, they can afford to give their workers better wages and benefits.

I would never cross a picket line. I support workers trying to improve their working conditions. They need our support to help influence management

Grocery workers have really been essential to our Oregon communities. This has been an incredibly tough and dangerous time to be face to face with the public day in and day out through this pandemic. I value the work and risks taken by all grocery workers. They should be compensated for these risks.

As someone overworked and under paid most of my life I support those that I can.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
