The public seminars, a service of BOLI's Technical Assistance for Employers Program (TA), each focus on a particular topic and provide in-depth discussion of how to comply with state and federal laws. TA seminars are set for September 25 in Roseburg and September 26 in Medford. Participants receive reference materials to take home with them, and detailed employment law handbooks will be on sale each day. "Our straightforward and engaging seminars help demystify the technical requirements of state and federal law, so that you can do business both more efficiently-and better protected against a really costly complaint or lawsuit," said Avakian, who has made the employer support program a priority for BOLI. "We want to make sure that small and medium-sized businesses throughout the state, which can't always afford a legal team and fully-staffed HR department, have access to services that can help them succeed." The upcoming seminars are: September 25 in Roseburg: Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA) Targeted specifically at the medium-sized employers who are covered by the Oregon Family Leave Act but not the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (employers of 25-49 employees within Oregon), this interactive seminar explores the various kinds of leave protected by OFLA and how they interact with other legal protections, from injured worker status to military service issues to leave for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and harassment. September 26 in Medford: Documentation, Discipline and Discharge This is TA's most in-demand training, which provides front-line supervisors and high-level managers alike with the knowledge and tools to properly document employee performance, use positive and negative feedback to keep employees on track, deal swiftly and fairly with problem employees and appropriately handle terminations.

The Apprenticeship and Training Division monitors all registered apprenticeship programs in the state to ensure maintenance of standards and to promote participation by women and people of color. Apprentice Spotlight: AJ Banuelos Despite coming from a big family of union tradespeople, Anjanet "AJ" Banuelos never thought seriously about apprenticeship. Or at least not until she was looking for work, drawing public assistance and trying to take care of three kids. Pre-apprenticeship training through Constructing Hope seemed like an option, but chance landed her in Oregon Tradeswomen, Inc's pre-apprenticeship program. AJ hasn't looked back. Now less than 500 hours away from 4th term as a laborer apprentice, she seems far away from the clerical work that she thinks high school prepared her for. With not only the skills but the social network that OTI helped her to build, AJ feels like she's on solid footing-and wants to offer the same confidence and opportunity to succeed to others. "I volunteer a lot with OTI, let them use my story, anything I can do," AJ says with a smile. "And the supportive services, like childcare-I'm always telling other apprentices, do you know this help is out there?" Noting that finding childcare when your days aren't 8 to 5, Monday through Friday, especially when you're on a job out of town and need a provider who can accommodate that, AJ emphasized, "Childcare is a huge issue." She likes the BOLI-ODOT workforce partnership's support for childcare expenses, per diems and other efforts to keep Oregon apprentices in their programs and on the job-she just wishes even more help was available. AJ is far from complaining about apprenticeship in Oregon, though. Asked what else she might be doing today, she laughingly said, "I don't even know." After a moment more of thought she says with characteristic honesty, "I don't even want to think about that." Downplaying her own hard work to get where she is, AJ is quick to express thanks to OTI especially: she recalls their pre-apprenticeship program making her interested in every trade except roofing, when she came in leaning strongly towards becoming an electrician. The experience was so positive that AJ, something of a good-will ambassador for OTI, sent her daughter to a Building Girls Construction Camp earlier this year-and reports that the "girly girl" was really excited about all that she learned. OTI's supportive environment and strong foundation not only helped AJ start on the right path, but also provide great examples for her suggestions for helping to keep other apprentices on the path to success: mentoring and networking among apprentices to share information and foster other mutual supports. AJ sees tips on simple things like helping to understand difficult bosses as a great gift from older apprentices to younger ones, and just between starting apprentices opportunities to carpool or suggestions on good childcare providers can be invaluable. AJ's perspective on Oregon apprenticeship came with no pulled punches and no whitewash, but plenty of optimism. She's ready to be on the front lines working to make apprenticeship even more accessible and more supportive of future apprentices. That level of energy and commitment should come as no surprise, though, from a woman who spent three months travelling from her Troutdale home to work on the west side of the Willamette River required riding the bus, MAX train and street car-all three, both directions, every day for three months. ###### Visit www.oregon.gov/BOLI for more information about all of BOLI's work to support employers, the workforce and a stronger economy.

The 15-cent increase tracks a 1.7% increase in the Consumer Price Index from August 2011. Speaking at a press conference in Springfield, Avakian called the increase necessary to help Oregon families make ends meet in tough times. ?Oregonians recognize the rising cost of living facing every one of us, and our strong minimum wage law is essential insurance that Oregon workers and their families can maintain their purchasing power and continue to contribute to our local economies,? said Avakian. State law, enacted by Oregon voters in 2002, directs the BOLI Commissioner to adjust the minimum wage for inflation every September, rounded to the nearest five cents. The adjustment accounts for inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a statistic published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics measuring the average change in prices over time for a fixed ?market basket? of goods and services, such as food, shelter, medical care, transportation fares and other goods and services people purchase for day-to-day living. ?Especially in a tough economy, it?s critical that we not let working families, who are already struggling to tread water, drift into even deeper water,? said Bob Baldwin, president of Lane Central Labor Council. ?Increasing the minimum wage is fundamentally necessary to preserve the purchasing power of low-wage Oregonians, who would otherwise see the same paycheck no longer covering the same expenses.? Oregon is one of ten states that makes annual adjustments to its minimum wage based on inflation and the CPI. Revised minimum wage posters reflecting the new rate will be available for free download from BOLI?s website.

The biggest news: PWAC is transitioning from zero female members to three when the last of the new appointments becomes effective on November 1st. "I am always impressed by the caliber of individuals willing and able to serve on the Prevailing Wage Advisory Committee," Avakian said. "The addition of three highly qualified women brings a wider diversity of experience and reflects my desire to see more women taking on policy-setting roles at the state level." PWAC was created by legislative action in 2003, directing the BOLI Commissioner to appoint representatives of management and labor to provide advice to the Commissioner and agency on issues relating to Oregon's prevailing wage rate law. "I'm ready to get to work," said new appointee Jodi Guetzloe Parker, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Columbia-Pacific Building Trades Council. "Being part of a group that brings together so much experience and expertise in one place, to recommend good solutions to tricky problems, is an exciting opportunity." The newly appointed members of PWAC are: Jodi Guetzloe Parker - In 19-plus years with Laborers International of North America, Guetzloe Parker has worked on many of the region's major projects, such as the Zoo Overpass, Portland Streetcar and Interstate MAX. From the staff of Laborers Local 320, she won election to head the Columbia Pacific Building Trades Council earlier this year. Val Solorzano - Solorzano founded Chick of All Trades in 2005 as a small construction business with a distinctly "green" attitude toward its work. That company is prospering while she also operates C.O.A.T. Flagging, which offers traffic control services on a range of public works projects. Nelda Wilson - Business Manager and 30-plus-year member of Local 701 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, Wilson brings years of experience with the prevailing wage survey process to the committee. She also serves on the Oregon State Apprenticeship and Training Council.

This year's conference, set for November 29-30 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, will feature 22 different seminars on a wide range of topics that employers have most requested. TA regularly touts the Conference, especially at the discounted, early registration price, as the #1 value available for an employer's training dollar. "Our conference agenda is driven by what local employers are telling us they want and need to be successful," said Jennifer Germundson, TA Program Manager and coordinator of the annual event for six years. "Each of our seminars is led by an expert presenter from BOLI or one of Oregon's leading employment law attorneys-this is a star-studded line-up of employment law professionals from around the state." BOLI's Annual Employment Law Conference draws in excess of 300 participants to the Oregon Convention Center in Portland every year for two days of educational seminars. The finalized schedule and registration information showcase a range of brand new seminars, including a special express version of BOLI's newest employer seminar. A variety of continuing education credits will be available to attendees: PHR, SPHR or GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute for human resources professionals-currently pending final approval-and hours for operators licensed by the Construction Contractors Board or the Landscape Contractors Board. "We have conference information on our website and going out by mail," Germundson continued, "but one of the best things about the TA conference is our consistently high approval rating among attendees and the positive word-of-mouth exposure that we get. It's why we have 300-plus attendees every year and why so many keep coming back every year." ###### Visit www.oregon.gov/BOLI for more information about all of BOLI's work to support employers, the workforce and a stronger economy.

The goals of the partnership are both to educate the LGBTQ community and help BOLI's responsiveness with regard to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) housing discrimination in the State of Oregon. The companion goal is to inform the LGBTQ community of rights and recourse if they face housing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. "Q Center applauds Commissioner Brad Avakian's leadership in establishing this project and we are proud to be part of making life better for LGBTQ people living in Oregon," said Q Center Executive Director Barbara McCullough-Jones. Under contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, BOLI enforces federal fair housing law and "substantially equivalent" state fair housing law, protecting access to housing free from discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, familial status and disability. State law also protects sexual orientation and gender identity, source of income and marital status. Visit www.oregon.gov/BOLI for more information about all of BOLI's work. Q Center provides a safe space to support and celebrate LGBTQ diversity, visibility and community building. Q Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization which offers multi-generational programs and services in four core areas: Arts & Culture; Education & Training; Health & Wellness and Advocacy.
