...NOLC endorses Wheeler, Saltzman (From Page 1) ernor of Lane County Commissioner Pete Sorenson. And the Service Employees Interna- tional Union (SEIU) announced March 18 its support for the gubernatorial cam- paign of former state treasurer Jim Hill. On March 20, Oregon School Em- ployees Association (OSEA) became the second union to back Hill. OSEA, alone among the unions, also made an endorsement in the Republican primary: Kevin Mannix. Mannix was the only one of the three leading con- tenders for the Republican nomination who sought the union’s endorsement. Ballots will be mailed April 28 and are due May 16. Voters must be regis- tered Democrat to vote in the Democra- tic primary, and Republican to vote in the Republican primary. The deadline to register to vote, or to change party registration is April 25. In other political action March 27, the Northwest Oregon Labor Council endorsed Ted Wheeler for Multnomah County chair; Gary Hansen for Mult- nomah County Commission, District 2; Steve March for Multnomah County auditor; Lynn Peterson for Clackamas County commissioner; Kevin Luby for Washington County Circuit Court judge, District 20; and Erik Sten and Dan Saltzman for Portland City Coun- cil, Positions 2 and 3, respectively. Incumbent Sten has six challengers and incumbent Saltzman has six — in- cluding Amanda Fritz, a member of the Oregon Nurses Association at Oregon Health and Science University. Saltzman has strong support from building trades unions, UFCW Local 555 and the Teamsters [Local 555 and the Teamsters are affiliated with NOLC under Solidarity Charters]. They say Saltzman has a good track record work- ing with construction unions and op- posing Wal-Mart. The motion to endorse Saltzman was strongly opposed at the NOLC del- egates meeting by Laborers Local 483, which represents approximately 500 city employees. “Dan Saltzman is no friend of labor,” said Local 483 Business Manager Richard Beetle, explaining that Saltz- man had a hand in scuttling a contract with Parks and Recreation employees. “Our members worked for months without a contract and without retro backpay,” Beetle said. “When the con- tract finally came before the City Coun- cil, Saltzman was the only commis- sioner to vote against it.” Beetle listed a half-dozen unions that have endorsed Fritz, including two of the largest unions at the city — the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 189 and Fire Fighters Local 43. Other unions endorsing Fritz are Communi- cations Workers Local 7901, Service Employees Local 49, the Oregon Nurses Association and the District Council of Laborers. Saltzman was endorsed on a stand- ing vote. Wheeler is a newcomer challenging incumbent Diane Linn. He has backing from the county’s largest union, AF- SCME Local 88; UFCW Local 555; the Teamsters and the Columbia-Pacific Building Trades Council. Linn is backed by the Portland Association of Teachers, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 757, Fire Fighters Local 43, SEIU Local 49 and the Oregon Nurses Association. Hansen, a member of Plumbers and Fitters Local 290 and a state representa- tive from Dist. 44 in North Portland, is running for an open seat against three other candidates. Hansen served on the County Commission in the early 1990s, leaving to run for the Legislature. Peterson is a Lake Oswego city councilor running against incumbent Larry Sowa, who recently switched po- litical parties — from Democrat to Re- publican. Clackamas County holds a partisan primary while the others are nonpartisan. Therefore, a candidate can win in the primary with 50 percent plus one of the votes. Otherwise, the top two finishers face off in November. THE UNION PLUS ® MORTGAGE PROGRAM Provided Exclusively by Chase Home Finance When it comes to mortgages, we’re taking a stand for Union members.
