GROCERY WORKERS NEEDED!!!

The Grocery Industry has never been more challenged than this coronavirus pandemic outbreak. UFCW 555 members are meeting the challenge, however with massive sales increases they cannot do it alone.  With many unionized industries shutting down and laying off members and Safeway and Albertsons in our region currently in need of "temporary workers" this may be an opportunity for a win-win.  They’re looking for a couple thousand people.

Please Support House Bill 4146!!!

Our friends at AFT-Oregon are asking that Labor get behind House Bill 4146.  This Bill, if passed, will establish healthcare for part time staff at ALL community colleges in the State.  Many of these folks work more than full time at various colleges, but due to the fact that they are part time everywhere, they do not qualify for healthcare.  This bill will fix this problem.  We think it has a great chance of passing this session, but our Representatives in Salem need to hear from you.

Please share this with friends and family and ask them to contact their electeds in support of this Bill as well.

Northwest Oregon Labor Council holds monthly Council Meetings every fourth Monday at 7:00pm.

These meetings are held at the IBEW Local 48 Union Hall at 15937 NE Airport Way, Portland, Oregon 97230.
