Public employee unions plan ‘Day of Action’ rally in Salem Feb. 20 SALEM — Education and public service unions, the Oregon PTA, the Oregon League of Conservation Vot- ers and many other groups will join forces for a “Day of Action” rally at the State Capitol on Monday, Feb. 20 — President’s Day, The Oregon Education Associa- tion is spearheading the event, but AFSCME, the Service Employees International Union, and the Oregon School Employees Association- American Federation of Teachers, also are involved. Funding for schools will be a fo- cal point, but all the unions are coop- erating to make sure the rally empha- sizes all state budgets and doesn’t pit one group against the other. The rally starts at noon on the front steps of the State Capitol in Salem. Several unions are providing transportation and lunch. For more information, contact your respective union, or call Jesse at the Oregon AFL-CIO at 503-232- 1195, extension 114. New coalition to advocate for universal health care in Oregon Seven labor unions joined with 21 community organizations to form a new coalition that will advocate for universal health care in Oregon and the U.S. A founding meeting was held in Portland Jan. 27. The coalition grew out of a part- nership between Health Care for All- Oregon, Portland Jobs with Justice, Mad As Hell Doctors, and Physicians for a National Health Program. Two years ago those organizations formed the Oregon Single Payer Campaign (OSPC), which last year held a con- ference in Portland attended by 500 people. OSPC also spearheaded the introduction of HB 3510 last year in the Legislature to create a single- payer financing system that guaran- teed universal access to health care for all Oregonians. The unions signing on to the coali- tion’s founding are: American Feder- ation of Government Employees Lo- cal 2157; Communication Workers of America Local 7901; Laborers Local 483; the National Association of Let- ter Carriers Branch 82; the National Association of Social Workers-Ore- gon; the Oregon Nurses Association; and Service Employees Local 49. The coalition plans to meet again soon to elect a board of directors, de- velop a strategic plan, and finalize the selection of a name. FEBRUARY 17, 2012
