Fred Meyer and Powell’s, not Walmart and Amazon
annual labor law conference in Portland Jan. 26
The annual Oregon Labor Law
Conference will held Friday, Jan.
26, at the IBEW Local 48 hall in
Portland. 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.
