Anti-sweatshop rally set Feb. 19 at City Hall Workers’ rights activists are hold- ing a noon hour rally outside Portland City Hall on Monday, Feb. 19, calling for Portland to pass a “sweat-free” or- dinance and join a consortium of local governments that would monitor labor conditions in sweatshops. Oregon Labor Commissioner Dan Gardner is expected to speak at the rally, along with Fire Fighers Local 43 Vice President Ed Hall and two Third World union leaders who are touring the United States to talk about sweat- shops — Beatriz Fuentes, whose union represents a flower plantation in Colombia; and Kotagarahalli Ja- yaram, an organizer for the Garment and Textile Workers Union in India.

Union Group rate is $7.92 each a year for 50 or more subscriptions The Sweatfree Portland Campaign has been meeting with city commis- sioners and staff since October. Com- missioners appear to be willing to pass a symbolic resolution opposing sweatshop abuses, but have balked at committing tax dollars to fight the problem without evidence that city government is purchasing sizable amounts of goods made in sweat- shops. In a Feb. 1 press statement, cam- paign activists said the city is buying goods from companies that have hired subcontractors accused of labor rights violations. The campaign has been endorsed by more than a dozen labor organiza- tions. The rally will go from noon to 1 p.m. on the Southwest Fourth Avenue side of City Hall, which is located at 1221 SW Fourth, between Madison and Jefferson.
