The following are Oregon and Southwest Washington workplaces where workers have voted on
whether to be represented by a union. The thumbs-up symbol means workers will be union-
represented. Thumbs-down means they’ll be on their own. The information comes from the
National Labor Relations Board and the Oregon Employment Relations Board.
“Coming from a Union family it means a
lot to me to have received so much support
from organized labor.”

The presidential election has
taken the lion’s share of attention,
however, there are important
local races that will impact the
lives of working Oregonians
during the primary election.
The Oregon Working Families
Party has made endorsements in
some of the most important races
to support candidates that will
uphold our values.
While most of the races are
nonpartisan, some of these are
partisan primaries and will be
closed for our Oregon Working
Families Party voters. But don’t
write them off yet. If our
registered Democrat friends take
our advice, ORWFP voters may
see these candidates in the
general election.
Here are our Local Endorsements
for the 2016 primary election.
