Oregon has long been considered a state friendly to workers and the unions that represent them. In 1887 the state became the first to pass a law declaring Labor Day a holiday.

Oregon was first state in nation to sign a law declaring Labor Day a holiday
Before the country recognized it as a holiday in 1894, lawmakers in Oregon had declared the first Saturday in June as a day for celebrating workers.

For those keeping tally, the U.S. economy lost 23k jobs revised from 20k last month. The month before that, jobs were revised from 57k to 20k. And the month before that, in May, jobs were revised down from 129k to 63k. Turns out prioritizing #GreedyCEOs doesn’t equate to jobs for working people.

Can’t believe we have to say this, but private equity buying up mobile home parks (the last affordable housing frontier for seniors) and then doubling the space rent, while demanding $$$ in repairs with threat of eviction if not completed, feels like a moral failure. We’re better than this.
