They've gotten used to bloated police budgets, absurd overtime payouts, and immunity for violence misconduct. But with 4 socialists elected to City Council, the police union is suddenly a "friend of workers" -- petitioning recently to join the local labor council of labor unions, Northwest Oregon Labor Council (NOLC). The labor council "speaks" for labor at the City and with elected politicians. What does this mean for Portlanders fighting threatened cuts to their community centers, parks, and other vital city services? What does this mean for the effort to hold Portland police accountability for misconduct? Join police abolitionist, author, and local union member Kristian Williams in conversation with rank-and-file union members at the City of Portland. https://actionnetwork.org/events/budget-cuts-portland-police-and-the-labor-movement
