Becoming a union member saved my life and changed the direction of my life, being a single mom of two with no child support. I vigorously approve of unions.

My brief stint as a first line manager convinced me that workers need unions. I saw how upper management, in that setting, really wanted to treat workers.

I worked for a union and later belonged to a union. The downfall of America's middle class correlates directly with the downfall of unions, beginning at least 30 years ago.

I almost did one time though for cashiers at Fred Meyer in the 90s. My department voted it down thank God because no one could afford the union dues. They were crazy expensive.

Are you asking a question or hoping someone will fill in the blanks for you? Sorry, this is KTVZ's poll, not your private blog.

This is the most silly question ever! If they are breaking the rule they should be fined like everyone else! To have the local residents that pay taxes and have their residence set up there put up with this is off the chart! Is so wrong! Something needs to be done! Very sad, very wrong!!! Wake UP!

Absolutely yes. No real punishment is the same as encouragement. These folks need to have a reason to change their situation.

I pay taxes to live here. Can I go out into the national forrest and build a 3600sqf foot house anywhere I choose and live for free? The USFS would kick me out immediately without any of the excuses they use for the homeless issue.

Brilliant idea going on the local news to announce that you are leaving because of your homeless neighbors. You just knocked a good 30% or more off your property value. So long, you won't be missed.

Is there nothing that central oregon won't waste tax dollars on? Have we become so dependent on A.I. that we can't even find a parking spot without help? Seriously!

How stupid is this? It will only cause an urgency to hurry up and get a spot before someone else..... The signs will be vandalized and spray painted on.

Sign is so difficult to read. If you are anything but the vehicle in front (wall and greenwood specifically), now vehicles are slowing down IN the intersection to try and read it.
