When the Oregon AFL-CIO bought its Portland office from the Machinists (IAM) union in 2011, the 1967-vintage union hall got a face-lift. Now it’s about to get a new body.

Union Summer, the cadre of young activists that is training to be the future leaders and union organizers of the labor movement, are hitting the doors hard. After a couple of weeks on the ground, Summeristas have visited 300 workers one-on-one and engaged 100 of them to commit to forming a union.

We’d been holding our breath all of June, waiting for yet another Supreme Court decision that could change the lives of millions of Californians. Heartbroken and disappointed, but not surprised, this court denied our dream of opportunities for the millions of immigrant workers who are at risk every day. At risk of getting separated from their families, at risk of employer exploitation, at risk of returning to a country they hardly remember, at risk of losing their children.
