Voodoo Doughnut finally folded and agreed to rehire the union workers we stood up for. This is a massive win against their union busting tactics and proof that corporate greed does not always win. Stay vigilant because we are still watching their next move.

Nearly six months after laying off their unionized crew, Voodoo Doughnut is still refusing to bring back union workers.



Doughnut Workers United is asking you, the community, to please sign this petition to encourage the company to rehire their union staff, who are ready and willing to return, instead of put of company staff.



The following employees are ready and willing to return to Voodoo Doughnut upon request:

Katherine Nadj

Eric Simon

Hannah Fernandez

Zaria Tanzanite

Sage Valdez

Jade Trowbridge

Genevieve Farley

Mont Smyth



In light of Voodoo Doughnut opening their Oak Grove location, as well as reopening the Davis location, the Doughnut Workers United believe this is not only the morally and legally right thing to do, but also the most professional thing to do for their staff.

Voodoo Doughnut management thought they could break our spirit by firing us and hoping the public would just forget. This surge of support proves they were dead wrong and that people are watching their every move.

The first action of all businesses that got pandemic funds should be to rehire workers. Why isn't Voodoo Doughnuts doing this? This is a business that many Portlanders love, and we also want laidoff workers to get their jobs back wherever it is possible.

I will no longer patronize Voodoo until you hire back the union workers & will dissuade all visitors to our city from doing so, as well.

Why eat at a place that doesn't support union workers? Most of us have had better work experiences, resulting in better lives, with union jobs. Why support a business that doesn't respect its workers?

I was laid off from Voodoo donuts at the old town location in March 2020 and was not called to get my job back, after I was left a voicemail by management saying they wanted to rehire me again when they could. I am also an active union member in Portland and with the donut workers union.

Along with the donut workers union I am calling on Voodoo Donuts to Commit to Rehiring every union worker they are trying to illegally get rid of. It is every workers’ right to pursue a union. Augie’s Union stands in solidarity with all of the donut workers, keep fighting.

Voodoo has always said they would fire anyone who tried to form a union. Even in manager meetings this was their plan.
