Meeting Details
Special Guest Speaker
Don McIntosh from the Northwest Labor Press will be talking with us a little bit about the labor movement and some opportunities to learn more about how we can stay engaged.
From the Northwest Labor Press About Page: “The Northwest Labor Press is an independent, union-supported newspaper. The print edition is mailed out twice a month to about 45,000 members of more than 80 unions in Oregon and Southwest Washington. The online edition has been maintained here at nwlaborpress.org since 1997. There are few other publications like it. Founded in 1900 by a consortium of trade unions, it’s one of America’s oldest and last remaining labor movement newspapers. Our focus is on the Portland metro area, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest, but we also report on national and global issues.”

We will also be voting on some alternate positions within our delegations, and I will be providing a report from our most recent executive board meeting,. as well, we will be hearing a request from a fellow PCP to get engaged in their new project.
