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.
