Putting their money where their hunger is: The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce’s Young Professionals group are bringing their dining dollars to local restaurants en masse through their Lunch Mob effort.
Since the program’s inception in 2012, the Young Professionals Lunch Mob has filled aroudn 180 seats in area restaurants. At an average of $9 per lunch, that’s $1,620 generated for chamber member restaurants.
“This is exactly the kind of results we like to see,” said Jared Sawyer, Chamber chairman. “Not only are we helping members build stronger relationships with each other, we are supporting local restaurants during a time when it is needed.”
Lunch Mobs were designed to help Young Professionals meet in a casual atmophere while having an immediate positive economic impact on the local economy.
Wage assurances: The Oregon Legislature voted this week to make it harder for unscrupulous construction labor contractors to cheat workers out of earned wages.
House Bill 2977, which heads to the governor for signature, requires most construction labor brokers to obtain a license from the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries. It also makes construction businesses that intentionally use unlicensed brokers jointly liable for unpaid wages.
