The Oregon AFL-CIO and Northwest Oregon Labor Council will hold memorial services the last week of April to honor workers who were killed on the job in Oregon in 2014. Both services are part of the national AFL-CIO’s Workers Memorial Day, which recognizes the thousands of U.S. work- ers who die each year and the more than 1 million who are injured at work. The Oregon AFL-CIO’s observance will be at noon, Tuesday, April 28, at the Fallen Workers Memorial outside the Labor and Industries Building, 350 Winter St. NE, on the Capitol Mall in Salem. The service will feature the reading of the names of the Oregon workers who died on the job in 2014. On Monday, April 27, the Northwest Oregon Labor Council will hold a me- morial service at its monthly delegates meeting. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the IBEW Local 48 Hall, 15937 NE Airport Way, Portland. Northwest blues stars are return- ing to Portland for a night of music to benefit the work of Health Care for All-Oregon, a coalition advocating for univer- sal, affordable health care for all Oregonians. The featured guest is Norman Sylvester, a member of Musicians Local 99. He will be joined by Andy Stokes; Jay “Bird” Koder; Richard Arnold & Sarah Billings; King Louie Pain & Friends with LaRhonda Steele, to name a few. The fourth annual Inner City Blues Festival — “Healing the Healthcare Blues,” will be held Saturday, April 11, at the North Portland Eagles Lodge, 7611 N. Exeter (on Lombard St.), Port- land. Doors open at 5:30 p.m, with performances starting at 6 p.m. and going until midnight. Masters of ceremonies are Paul Knauls, former owner of the leg- endary blues/jazz clubs Geneva’s and the Cotton Club, and Renee Mitchell, former columnist for the Oregonian and renowned poet and author. The evening will include Com- munity Village information tables, a raffle prize drawing, and silent auction. Food and drink are available for sale. Tickets are $15 in advance at www.tickettomato.com, or at Mu- sic Millennium, Geneva’s Shear Perfection, Musicians Local 99, or $20 at the door. All proceeds will go to support the work of Health Care for All-Oregon. The coalition seeks to reform the health care system by replacing an expensive and complicated system that is dominated by a multitude of private insurance companies, with a single non- profit agency that would collect and distribute funds equitably and fairly, with “everybody in — nobody out.” For more information, con- tact Ken Cropper at 503-287- 8113, or email bluesies@q.com.
