O REGON AFSCME Retirees meet 10 a.m. Tuesday, NORTHWEST LABOR PRESS Northwest Oregon Labor Retirees Council disbands The Northwest Oregon Labor Re- tirees Council has disbanded. Low turnout and an abundance of other active union retiree groups, in- cluding the Oregon Alliance for Retired Americans, led to the decision to dis- solve, said interim secretary-treasurer Ambrose Bittner. The group was formed in 1997 and met monthly in Southeast Portland. For many years it selected retired union members to its “Labor Hall of Fame.” They quit doing that in 2008. Bittner said the group has filed pa- perwork with the national AFL-CIO to dissolve. Once approved, the council’s general fund of approximately $500 will be handed over to the Oregon AFL- CIO. Bittner encouraged union retirees to attend their respective local union re- tiree clubs, and/or to join the Oregon Alliance for Retired Americans. “There was a lot of duplication in what our group did, and what the other groups were doing,” Bittner said. “It’s not like we’re going away. We’ll still be active.” S OUTHWESTERN O REGON C ENTRAL L ABOR C OUNCIL Delegates meet 6 p.m. Monday, March 3, at the Bay Area Labor Center, 3427 Ash, North Bend.

The keynote speaker will be Kim Bobo, executive director and founder of Interfaith Workers Justice.

The breakfast is sponsored by Port- land Jobs with Justice, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon and Northwest Oregon Labor Council. “We will bring together workers to tell us about their efforts to gain respect on the job, and faith leaders who will describe how and why they act on be- half of workers' dignity. Together we will explore ways to dignify work and take action,” said Chris Phillips of Port- land Jobs with Justice. Cost is $15, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
