HAppENINGS Trumka to keynote WSLC convention AFL-CIO president richard Trumka will keynote the 2019 Convention of the Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO, set for July 25-27 at the SeaTac Double- Tree Hotel by Hilton. Hundreds of delegates representing unions across the state, as well as some from Oregon, will hear from other labor and government leaders, including Attorney Gen- eral Bob Ferguson, Kooper Caraway, president of the Sioux Falls Central Labor Council, State Lands Commis- sioner Hilary Franz, and King County Executive Dow Constantine. Under the theme “Looking Back… Moving Forward,” the con- vention will feature panels and educational workshops that commemorate the 100th anniver- sary of the 1919 Seattle General Strike and the Centralia Tragedy, and examine the issues and challenges facing today’s work- ers who want to unionize. Additionally, delegates will consider resolutions that will guide the state labor federation in the years ahead. The popular CopE Barbecue will take place July 25 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the IBEW Local 77 Hall, which is walking dis- tance from the hotel. This year’s event will feature a Cook-off Challenge between WSLC President Larry Brown and WSLC Secretary-Treasurer April Sims. The barbecue is a fundraiser for the Committee on Political Education, which works to educate union mem- bers about which candidates have earned organized labor’s endorsement — and why. The suggested donation for tickets and for the 2019 COPE buttons is $20 each. For a donation of $35, delegates get both the bar- becue ticket and the button. The barbecue will be fol- lowed by a Casino Night and Texas Hold ‘Em High roller Tournament to benefit the Foundation for Working Families. This fun event is from 8 p.m. to midnight at Maxi’s Restaurant at the DoubleTree Hotel. In lieu of a President’s Club Luncheon at convention this year, there will be a president’s Ac- tion! at lunchtime on July 26.

That evening at 6 p.m., the Convention reception and banquet gets under way at the hotel. Each year, during the reception and banquet, the WSLC Women’s Committee holds a silent auction to raise money that funds scholar- ships to send rank-and-file union women to leadership con- ferences. Unions and individu- als are urged to donate items and services for the auction. The convention will recon- vene at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 27. The day’s action will include af- filiate issues, and the considera- tion of resolutions and possible CopE political endorsements. The con- vention should adjourn around lunchtime.
