Sargent Bids Farewell to 'A-List' Officers and Staff

Today is the last day that Jennifer Sargent is our Director of Communications and Research here at the Oregon AFL-CIO. We are pleased that she will be staying in the family when she moves to a regional position with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union next week.

"It's hard to leave an organization like the Oregon AFL-CIO, especially at a time when it is leading and thriving on so many fronts," she told the Weekly Update. "The officers and staff here at the state fed are A-list across the board, and the many affiliate union leaders and members I've worked with over the years are some of the best people I know. But I'm not going far -- the ILWU is a great partner with the state fed, and I will still be active in supporting the folks I have known for years."

Sargent echoed these comments in an essay that was published today on BlueOregon, which you can read here. And stay tuned for news from the ILWU, as Sargent has promised to submit stories from the ILWU as they bargain for their contract this coming year.
