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.

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.
