Hundreds of delegates representing unions across the state of Washing- ton will gather in Vancouver for the 2017 convention of the Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO . The convention runs from Tuesday, July 18 through Thursday, July 20 at the Hilton Vancouver Washington. Un- der the theme “Resist and Persist,” the convention will feature guest speakers and educational work- shops focused on organized labor’s efforts to resist the Trump Admin- istration’s anti-working family agenda and persist with successful efforts in Washington state to achieve social justice and shared prosperity. Additionally, delegates will consider resolutions that will guide the state labor federation in the years ahead. Delegates will also consider political endorsements to supplement those already made by the WSLC Executive Board. The popular COPE Barbecue will be from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on July 18 in Es- ther Short Park , across the street from the Hilton Vancouver. This is a fundraiser for the Committee on Political Education, which works to educate union members about which candidates have earned or- ganized labor’s endorsement — and why. The suggested donation for tickets and for the 2017 COPE buttons is $20 each. For a donation of $35, delegates get both the bar- becue ticket and the button. The Convention reception and banquet starts at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 19 , at the convention center. Each year, during the reception and banquet the WSLC Women’s Committee holds a silent auction to raise money that funds scholarships to send rank- and-file union women to leadership conferences. Unions and individu- als are urged to donate items and services for the auction. Please email April Sims to make arrange- ments. For more information about the convention, call Willa Hockley- Smith at 206-281-8901.
