The party is held the first weekend in December at the historic Elsinore Theatre in downtown Salem. On Dec. 1, children sang holiday songs, watched a movie, met Santa and Mrs. Claus, (left), then headed out with a goodie bag filled with union-made products pur- chased at the local unionized Fred Meyer store. Santa is played by Jack Rusen of Albany Steelworkers Photos by Michael Gutwig Local 6163 (Mrs. Claus is his wife). The emcee is Jeff An- derson, secretary-treasurer of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555. Anderson has played the part of “Elfie” for nearly 30 years. The event is funded by lo- cal unions and unionized busi- nesses in the tri-county area.
