HAPPENINGS The Northwest Oregon Labor Council and Labor’s Community Service Agency (LCSA) are teaming up with American Red Cross again this Labor Day for a blood drive compe- tition at the Sept. 5 picnic at Oaks Park. Bloodmobiles will be parked at the picnic from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Organizers are asking that union members pre-register so that dona- tions can be collected as quickly as possible. The blood donation process takes about an hour. The la- bor organization that collects the most units of blood will have its name added to a perpetual trophy, plus bragging rights for the entire year. Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals Local 5017 is the defending champion. You can pre-register online at www.redcrossblood.org. Plug in sponsor code “NOLC.” LCSA also is hosting a scav- enger hunt for children ages 1 to 18 at the Labor Day picnic. Participants will use clues found in a “passport” to find various unions at the picnic. Passports can pick up at LCSA’s booth at Oaks Park starting at 10 a.m. Once the required number of stamps are collected, kids must re- turn their passport to the LCSA booth, where they will be eligible for a drawing to win a bicycle (do- nated by the International Long- shore and Warehouse Union). All participants get union-made cook- ies provided by Franz Bakery, whose employees are members of Bakers Local 114. For more infor- mation on any of these events, call Labor’s Community Service Agency at 503-231-4962. The 28th annual Machinists District W24 Guide Dogs of America Golf Tourna- ment will be held Monday, Sept. 12 at Heron Lakes Golf Club in Port- land. Registration begins at 7 a.m., with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Entry fee is $125 per person, and includes green fees, cart, practice range, and lunch. Hole sponsor- ships are still available, ranging from $250 to $1,000. For more in- formation, contact John Hall at 503-449-0969, or John Kleiboeker at 503-863-7304. The Labor Roundtable of South- west Washington is hosting its an- nual Labor Awards Banquet Friday, Sept. 23 at the Vancouver Hilton, 301 West 6th St. A no-host bar starts at 4:30 p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m., fol- lowed by an awards ceremony rec- ognizing labor unions, labor lead- ers, union members, and com- munity leaders for their outstanding service to the labor movement and the community.

Sec- tion 202 of the bipartisan bill ad- vanced by the U.S. House Com- mittee on Oversight and Govern- ment Reform proposes significant cuts to door-to-door delivery. The union says doing so will reduce the quality of service and undermined the financial health of the Postal Service. Learn more about the im- pact of HR 5714 at the rally.
