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.”
