HAPPENINGS
Sons and daughters of union con-
struction workers affiliated with the
Oregon State Building and Construction
Trades Council (OSBCTC) are eligi-
ble to apply for two $1,000 college
scholarships. The scholarships are
funded by Ferguson Wellman Cap-
ital Management and Quest Invest-
ment. Applicants’ parent or legal
guardian must be a member of a
union affiliated with the OSBCTC.
The two winners will be selected
by a representative from the office
of Oregon Gov. Kate Brown. The
deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on July
21. For more information on how
to apply, contact your local union,
or call OSBCTC at 503-788-7153.
AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz
Shuler will keynote the 2017 Con-
vention of the Washington State La-
bor Council, AFL-CIO, set for July
18-20 at the Hilton Vancouver Wash-
ington. Hundreds of delegates rep-
resenting unions across the state
will hear from other labor and gov-
ernment leaders, including Gov. Jay
Inslee , Attorney General Bob Fer-
guson, Social Security Works Pres-
ident Nancy Altman, North Car-
olina AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer
MaryBe McMillan, and author Bill
Fletcher, Jr. Under the theme “Re-
sist and Persist,” the convention
also will include workshops fo-
cused on organized labor’s efforts
to resist the Trump Administra-
tion’s anti-working-family agenda
and persist with successful efforts
in Washington state to achieve so-
cial justice and more broadly
shared prosperity. Additionally, del-
egates will consider resolutions that
will guide the state labor federation
in the years ahead. Delegates also
will consider political endorse-
ments 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 Esther Short Park , across
the street from the Hilton Vancou-
ver. This is a fundraiser for the
Committee on Political Education,
which works to educate union
members about which candidates
have earned organized labor’s en-
dorsement — and why. The sug-
gested donation for tickets and for
the 2017 COPE buttons is $20
each. For a donation of $35, dele-
gates get both the barbecue ticket
and the button. The Convention re-
ception and banquet starts at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, July 19 , at the conven-
tion 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 confer-
ences. Unions and individuals are
urged to donate items and services
for the auction. For more informa-
tion about the convention, call
Willa Hockley-Smith at 206-281-
8901.
The popular AFL-CIO Summer School
will be held Aug. 4-6 at the Univer-
sity of Oregon in Eugene. Classes
will present tools for fighting for
change while significant portions of
labor are under renewed attack, and
for building unity across the “polit-
ical divide”—finding ways to unite
members who disagree on politics.
Participants also will learn how
unions can organize and stay strong
under “right to work” laws. The
Summer School is presented by the
Labor Education and Research
Center in conjunction with the Ore-
gon AFL-CIO. For more informa-
tion, go online to lerc.uoregon.edu/
summer-school.
On July 1 , Oregon’s minimum wage
rose by $1.50 per hour in the Portland
metro area, and by 50 cents per
hour in the rest of the state. An es-
timated 301,000 jobs — about one
in seven jobs in the state — saw a
pay increase, according to the Ore-
gon Employment Department. In
the Portland metro area, wages in-
creased to $11.25 an hour; in non-
urban counties it bumped to $10
per hour; and in the rest of the state
minimum pay increased to $10.25
per hour. As a result of the increase,
a full-time minimum wage worker
in the Portland metro area will earn
$260 more per month. For mini-
mum wage earners in non-urban
counties and in the rest of the state,
the monthly gain will be $87.
Those amount to gains of about 15
and 5 percent, respectively. The
minimum wage hike was enacted
by the Oregon Legislature in Feb-
ruary 2016.
