I would be less than truthful if I told you I wasn't disappointed. But my campaign experience also opened my eyes to new possibilities for organized labor to take a more active role in our democracy.Here’s why more labor union leaders should run for office.1) Put a face on organized labor. As a 35-year member of theInternational Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and the former seven-term elected Business Manager of IATSE Local 16, my roots in labor run deep. I have been a member of the San Francisco Labor Council executive board since 1994 and am involved with various labor organizations…http://www.twitpic.com/cxzfh2

They constitute the most dynamic element of the European system of industrial relations which has emerged in the last decades in spite of the considerable differences between the industrial relations systems of the member states. The construction of this system started in 1984 when the European legislators vested the European Commission with the task of encouraging the development of a ‘social dialogue’ so as to promote contractual relations in the longer term. After a period of quasi tripartite European social dialogue that produced rather modest results, the European governments followed the agreement of 31 October 1991 signed by the ETUC, UNICE…http://www.twitpic.com/cxz6fk

Oreganizers of the Occupy Mount Tabor camping protest will hold a kickoff march at Portland City Hall at 10 am this Wednesday, June 19, demanding the city resume efforts to keep open-air drinking-water reservoirs in Washington Park and on Mount Tabor. “The City of Portland has given up trying to get a waiver for our reservoirs,” says the protest's Facebook announcement. “Instead, they put profit over people and are willing to both poison the water and raise your water bill by 44% to pay for it.”The protest will be Mayor Charlie Hales' first experience of an Occupy-related rally, and will likely mark the moment when reservoir defenders turn their sights on City CommissionerNick Fish, who began overseeing the Water Bureau this month.
