Latino activists, workers and Portland City Council members celebrated the opening of a government-sponsored center for day laborers this afternoon.
The center, for now a trailer and an awning inside a parking lot owned by the Portland Development Commission, offers day laborers a safe and centralized place to seek work in landscaping and construction.
City leaders and activists are hoping they’ll congregate there starting Monday morning instead of their usual gathering spots — the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Interstate 84 and Southeast 6th Avenue and East Burnside Street.”*
