After months of negotiations with Kaiser, management is still unwilling to agree to common sense proposals that would preserve the future of patient care. With Kaiser having made more than $12.9 billion net revenue last year and CEO Greg Adams making more than $12 million a year in salary, Kaiser can afford to invest in patients and health care workers. What are we asking for? Safe staffing Patient access and adequate appointment lengths A voice in our workplace Wages that attract and retain qualified staff How to help this fight! Please call Kaiser Public Relations (503-798-1223) and tell Greg Adams and Wendy Watson to settle a fair contract now!

Hi Everyone, Our rally and canvass for our Portland Parks is happening in five days, and we want a GREAT turnout.  A surprise guest will kick off the event at the AFL-CIO building at 11 am .  The TV cameras should be there, so wear your union tee shirt and other swag and bring a friend to fill the room! Fully 269 jobs are at stake in the Portland Parks levy.  These are your union siblings, who care for our beautiful inventory of parks and recreation facilities.  The November 4th ballot due date is just ONE WEEK AWAY, and we need every supporter to turn in their YES votes. Will you join us in this effort by the House of Labor to support Portland Parks and parks workers? Click here  LINK  to sign up for the rally and canvass. Oh, and by the way:  the public is with us -- dramatically so -- but we need to REMIND THEM to turn in their ballots to win. In solidarity, Laurie Wimmer Executive Secretary-Treasurer, NW Oregon Labor Council Email: est@nwolc.org Cell Phone: 503-804-5362
