Portillo’s is celebrating 60 years of Chicago-style hot dogs and its famous Italian beef sandwiches this week. Mayor Lori Lightfoot even declared last Wednesday “Portillo’s Day.”
Meanwhile, workers at the company’s production facility in Addison are leading efforts to form a union with Iron Workers — demanding sick days and a seat at the table with management.“We were tired of always asking to talk with management and them never listening to us,” said Fernando Jiménez, a forklift operator at Portillo’s production facility in Addison. “We don’t have sick days. … I’ve worked here 33 years, and I only get two weeks of vacation.
Portillo’s told WTTW News in a statement, “We are proud of the competitive pay, career growth and development opportunities, and outstanding benefits – including health insurance, a wellness program, learning resources, meal benefits, and reward and recognition programs – that we provide for everyone who works here. It’s our commitment.”
Workers at Addison’s production facility have an election scheduled for Thursday in which they will vote whether to unionize as a group. “They’ve never worried about their employees,” Jiménez said, “and they should because we are the ones who help the company grow.”
