On Feb. 25, AFT-Oregon and its union allies testified before the Joint Ways and Means Subcommittee On Transportation and Economic Development requesting full funding for Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI). 

“BOLI is unable to carry out its mission,” said Oregon AFL-CIO president Graham Trainor, “because they are receiving far more claims than the divisions can process. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to right this course and ensure that the laws the Legislature has already passed are a reality for Oregonians.”

The AFT-Oregon Executive Council has vacancies for Treasurer and Vice-President at Large positions in accordance with our Constitution.  Vice-Presidents at Large act as liaisons to locals; attend EC meetings as voting officers; and work within our federation to accomplish our goals, which include developing more focused VP roles over the next two years in accordance with the Expanded Executive Council amendment we passed at convention; increasing engagement and participation opportunities for local leadership and rank-and-file membership; and improving transparency, accountability, and accessibility of our federation proceedings.

AFT-Oregon is proud to host its 2025 Convention at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center on May 9-11, 2025.
