Hell yeah. Also, that’s a well-written letter with reasonable asks. I’m hopeful for what comes next.
“in so called Portland, Oregon”
What? It either is Portland or it isnt. WTF is that about?
Yeah, I get a “land acknowledgement” but that sounds like you’re tryna take a shit on the town.
It’s also muddling the issues at hand with some irrelevant issue they have with the town.
Portland Maine getting uppity again.
In this context, when someone says “so called place” it is a shortened way of acknowledging that the land they are referring to wasn’t always called that, that native folks have their own names for it. It’s seen as a respectful gesture.
Kinda wild that such basic asks have to be pushed for by a union but all counts should be easy for management handle.
