300+ attend labor law conference
Union leaders know that U.S. labor laws will be under attack in the new
Trump Administration, so it was no surprise that more than 300 unionists
attended the Oregon Labor Law
Conference Jan. 27 to get training
and new information on grievance
handling and arbitration, collective
bargaining, organizing, union gov-
ernance, legislation, and worker
rights.
Norman Malbin, retired IBEW
Local 48 general counsel, founded
the conference 20 years ago. “It
brings togeth-
er union staff
and leadership
from around
the Northwest
to learn about
cutting edge
labor law, and
build a strong-
er labor move-
ment,” he said.
