Labor’s partnership with United Way more important than ever To The Editor: At a time when working families are facing attacks on the working class, a jobs crisis, and unrelenting economic hardship, our partnership with United Way is more important than ever. For nearly four decades, the North- west Oregon Labor Council has sup- ported the work of United Way of the Enjoy Your Labor Day Thanks for what you do this Labor Day and every day. From the Officers & Members of UA Local 290 Plumbers - Steamfitters - Marinefitters Columbia-Willamette to serve brothers and sisters in need in our community. I am proud to continue this tradition and to endorse the 2011 United Way cam- paign. United Way advances the common good by creating opportunities for a bet- ter life. They share labor’s goals of en- hancing community growth through in- come, education, and health — the building blocks for a good, quality life. As the 2011 campaign kicks off, I in- vite you to show your support for United Way. You can give, you can ad- vocate, you can volunteer — that’s what it means to “Live United.” And no one O PEN F ORUM understands what it means to live united more than those of us in the labor move- ment. Let’s join hands for the 2011 United Way campaign. Together, we can make a difference. Bob Tackett Executive Secretary-Treasurer NW Oregon Labor Council Portland The man who doesn’t relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse, a little later on.
