Founded over 20 years ago by the late Norman Malbin, general counsel for IBEW Local 48, the conference features leading legal practitioners from Oregon, the Northwest, and the nation for a day of dynamic sessions and practical advice, followed by a social gath- ering to build bridges within the la- bor movement. Cost is $95 and in- cludes lunch. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m., and the conference runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, or to register, go to laborlawconference.com. When you buy at Fred Meyer, Portland’s only unionized general retailer, the money you spend will employ members of UFCW Local 555 (and Bakers Local 114, at Fred Meyer bakery departments). Or keep it simple and get a Fred Meyer gift card. And why shop at Amazon when you could buy books and gifts at Powell’s Books and support about 420 Portland-area members of ILWU Local 5, from cashiers to truck drivers to computer programmers. Powells pays wages that average over $13.50 an hour, and provides health benefits for full-time employees. And if you shop online through ilwulocal5.com, 7.5% of your purchase goes to the union strike fund. uniOn SHiPPErS Sending cards and packages?
