Reader loves the NW Labor Press To The Editor: I currently receive the NW Labor Press through my husband, Keith Kor- denat, who is a member of Iron Workers Local 29. It’s my favorite piece of mail that we receive. In the past, I gifted a subscription to my father, who is an IBEW retiree and active political and labor advocate. We both belong to IBEW Local 970, which covers Cowlitz and Wahkiakum coun- ties. For years I’ve brought the Labor Press with me to jobsites and shared it with others in the job shacks. After 14 years in the trade, as a journeyman in- side wireman, I left the field and came to work for the Fair Contractors Foun- dation in July of 2006. In fact, I was reading the Labor Press and saw FCF’s advertisement for a compliance investi- gator. It sounded like a job I would re- O PEN F ORUM ally like; five years later I’m still here and enjoy my job. If I hadn’t read the Labor Press I would never have known about FCF or the job opportunity. I no longer have the opportunity to share my Labor Press in the job shack, but I do pass it on either at my local li- brary or at one of the local union halls in the Longview/Kelso area. There is al- ways a tremendous amount of interest in the publication. Thank you for providing the labor community a great publication. Jennie Kordenat IBEW 970 Longview, Wash. S TAT OF THE M ONTH If the top U.S. 1 percent income had increased only as fast as national productivity since 1980, notes eco- nomic analyst Paul Buchheit, the na- tion’s top 1 percent would now be taking about $1 trillion less out of the U.S. economy. 7LUHG RI %HHVRQ&KLURSUDFWLF :RUNLQJ LQ 3$,1" 0RVW,QVXUDQFH 3ODQV$FFHSWHG 3 528'/< 6 (59,1* 3 257/$1' : 25.(56 ) 25 2 9(5 < ($56 AUGUST 5, 2011 NORTHWEST LABOR PRESS KHOSVEULQJWKH UHOLHI\RXQHHG 7UHDWPHQWIRUSDLQGXHWR RYHUXVHDQGUHSHWLWLYHPRWLRQ &KLURSUDFWLFDGMXVWPHQWV 7UHDWPHQWIRUDFFLGHQWDQG VSRUWVUHODWHGLQMXULHV 5HKDELOLWDWLRQH[HUFLVHV 7KHUDSHXWLFPDVVDJH ,QWHUQDOGLDJQRVLVDQGWUHDWPHQW /DEWHVWVDQG[UD\V 'U'DQ%HHVRQ&KLURSUDFWRU 6(7KLUWHHQWK$YHLQ6HOOZRRG &$// PAGE 11
