Biden cabinet official visits Portland NECA-IBEW training center

April 1, 2022

U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh toured the NECA/IBEW Local 48 training center in Portland March 24 and heard about efforts to bring more women into the building trades. That's a familiar cause for Walsh, who as head of the Boston Building Trades unions created a program that brings women and minorities into the building trades. At the training center, Walsh was joined by Governor Kate Brown and U.S. Representatives Suzanne Bonamici and Earl Blumenauer.
