Board Vigil
how the Port of portland welcomes public input: “Sorry there weren’t enough seats for everybody, but we didn’t expect such a big crowd,” said Port of Portland Commission Chair Jim Carter Feb. 11 as members of the public packed the board room. [The front two rows had been reserved in advance for Port managers.] “Unfortunately, I guess you have to stand,” Carter continued. “We are going to take up the ‘workplace initiative’ last on the agenda.” Every month for nearly a year, unionists have waited hours to speak for three minutes to ask the Port for better working conditions for airport service workers.
