Warehouse Worker Job Opening – Equal Exchange (Portland, OR)

January 4th 2022

Equal Exchange was the first fair trade coffee company in the United States. We are a worker cooperative, owned by our employees. Since 1986, we have been demonstrating the viability of worker co-ops and authentic fair trade.

Help us achieve our mission!

We’re looking for someone to join our distribution team. It’s a full-time, Worker-Owner Track position, with eligibility for membership in our cooperative after one year. We offer employer-paid health insurance on your first day of work, sick and vacation days, the opportunity to be involved in the governance of our co-op and a patronage dividend; after new hires have become worker-owners. Come participate in our democracy with your vote!

Pay for this position is 36k annually

We need someone who can:

• Find satisfaction in working a physical and fairly repetitive job
• Work well independently AND as part of a team
• Solve problems with creativity and determination
• Pay attention to details while keeping up the pace of work
• Follow through and plan ahead
• Communicate kindly, clearly, and effectively with co-workers

Equal Exchange supports equal employment opportunity for all classes of individuals, regardless of age, race, color, national origin, citizenship status, disability, religious creed, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status, economic status, veteran status. As a business dedicated to economic justice for small farmers worldwide, our worker-owners, and communities in the US, we would like BIPOC, women, queer and trans-identified folks to apply. We believe that our differences strengthen our co-op, and that we only reach true consensus by empowering dissent and dialogue.
