Labor Day Picnic at Oaks Park
Local 189 members and their families are invited to the Northwest Oregon Labor Council's annual Labor Day Picnic on Monday, September 7, from 11am to 4pm at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland.
The event will host the labor community in the greater Portland area and offer food, music, and unlimited rides. It's a day to celebrate solidarity, reflect on the power of working people, and have fun with the labor community.
