PORTLAND, Oregon The Service Employees International Union 503 (SEIU 503), which represents 72,000 workers in Oregon, including home health care workers, is calling for central air conditioning to be installed in multi-story public housing apartment buildings.
During the worst of the late June heat wave, a home health care worker told KGW news, a client s apartment on the sixth floor of a building called Northwest Tower was 109 degrees inside. The building has no central air conditioning.
