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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's also muddling the issues at hand with some irrelevant issue they have with the town.

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.
