Wildfire Resources
The thoughts of Local 328’s leadership are with our coworkers and community members who have been affected by the ongoing wildfires in the metro region and elsewhere in Oregon.
Below are links to various resources that we hope will be helpful to our members during this difficult time. Please feel free to reach out in the comments if you have questions or know of additional resources to add.
