A real opportunity to change the face of Oregon politics
ur goal with this voter's
guide is to use the power of
our votes in the upcoming
election to defend and advance our
interests as workers and as produc­
tive members of our communities.
We have studied the ballot
measures, interviewed the candidates
and researched their records to pro-
vide information we hope will be
helpful to you when voting. Our rec­
ommendations are based on the can­
didates' positions and voting records
on issues critical to our members:
♦ Funding Quality Public Services <
♦ Quality, Affordable Health Care
♦ Providing Decent Pensions
♦ Fair Wages and COLAs
