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

range, and lunch. Hole sponsor-
ships are still available, ranging
from $250 to $1,000. For more in-
formation, contact John Hall at

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. Roger Millar, sec-
retary of the Washington Depart-
ment of Transportation, will be the
keynote speaker. Tickets are $60
per person. For more information or

National Association of Letter Carriers
Branch 82 will hold a rally and in-
formational picket at the Portland
Main Post Office, 715 NW Hoyt
St. (off Broadway), Thursday, Sept.
29, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. to inform
the public and build grassroots op-
position to a section of the Postal
Service Reform Act of 2016. 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.
TriMet is hosting a hiring event Sat-
urday, Sept. 17, at the Oregon Con-
vention Center, from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m., 777 NE Martin Luther King
Jr. Blvd., Portland. TriMet is hiring
20 bus operators every three weeks
for the foreseeable future. New
hires will be members of Amalga-
mated Transit Union Local 757.
Student operators will earn $14.25
per hour during a six-week training
period. Once training is complete,
bus operators work part time and
earn $15.63 an hour for the first six
months. Pay increases occur every
four months until the top rate of
pay $28.39 is reached at 35
months. Part-time operators get
medical, dental and vision benefits,
as well as a retirement plan and
other fringe benefits. Those who at-
tend the hiring event can apply for
a job, as well as talk to staff about
what it’s like to work for TriMet.
