At the Elk
Gathering at the Elk: United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters members Patricia Lopez and Amy Sprengelmeyer march with Occupy Portland Oct. 15. Sprengelmeyer, who is currently on the union’s out-of-work list, camped out with the protesters the first four nights. Lopez said she’s employed on a stimulus-funded federal building, but is afraid to buy a home in the current economy. “I never thought I’d see this movement in my lifetime,” Sprengelmeyer told the Labor Press. “I’d like to see more labor down here, because all the issues of Occupy Wall Street are working class issues.”
