Biography

Margaret Butler, born in Portland, was a Communications Workers of America activist who co-founded Portland Jobs with Justice in 1991 and later directed the coalition. During its 1993 National Day of Action for Labor Law Reform sit-in at the National Labor Relations Board offices, she was one of nine people arrested when police cleared the lobby. Northwest Labor Press dates her arrest to May 27, 1993. Booking details, disposition and any period of confinement remain unverified.

Case

Charges: Refusing to leave the NLRB offices (1993 National Day of Action for Labor Law Reform sit-in, Portland)
Arrested: May 27, 1993
Sentence: Northwest Labor Press individually identifies Margaret Butler as one of the nine people arrested in Portland on May 27, 1993 during the NLRB lobby occupation. This establishes the arrest date, but not booking, release or completed confinement. Source: https://nwlaborpress.org/1999/7-02-99NLRB2.html (Don McIntosh, July 2, 1999).
