SALEM, Oregon — For 78
years, unions affiliated with
the Marion-Polk-Yamhill
Counties Labor Chapter have
hosted a free holiday party for
children and their parents and
grandparents (some of whom
attended when they were
kids). 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

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.
