Our 100% membership McIlvaine Tenant Union recently voted to launch a utilities strike, protesting landlords Tim Solimano and Zach Laster-Hazzard of Rainier Valley Partners use of the Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS).
The McIlvaine RUBS strike is now on and getting great press coverage, including the front page of the Seattle Times, and a recent follow-up piece from the Tacoma News Tribune.
Tenants will remain on strike until Solimano and Laster-Hazzard come to the table to bargain in good faith. A unanimous utilities strike is a massive display of economic tenant power, but it will not automatically bring Tim and Zach out of hiding.
McIlvaine tenants need to keep adding pressure, and they need your support. Sign and share their petition today to show your solidarity. And don’t forget to share it with friends, family and -of course– neighbors!
