This is an important win for Oregonians who believe we need to develop a roadmap to further explore the benefits and impacts of offshore wind, and ensure responsible labor standards to promote and protect Oregon workers.

[Governor Tina Kotek @GovTinaKotek]

Offshore wind can play a critical role in meeting our state’s goal of 100% renewable energy by 2040.

HB 4080 will help Oregon take the next step to work with communities on the South Coast.

Our @Ben_Beachy testified to the @WaysMeansCmte on how the #InflationReductionAct is a triple win! A win for workers taking good union jobs👷🏿, for hard-hit communities seeing investments 🏗️, and for all of us who seek a livable climate🌎. https://t.co/hFnUeSBiv3

3.2 million wells nationwide were abandoned by energy companies who didn’t pay enough to clean them up. Thousands more are undocumented or at risk of becoming orphaned. https://t.co/rqnE2VHMXk

[United Steelworkers Union @steelworkers]

We’re celebrating you today. Because our labor builds this country, and we’re so damned proud! #USWMade #LaborDay #1u 💪🏽

[PCUN @PCUNoregon]

No one should ever die at work. We are heartbroken and outraged about the death of a farmworker due to heat-illness. Oregon has failed to have heat standards in place to protect outdoor workers. We demand OREGON OSHA to adopt rules for both excessive heat and wildfire smoke.

[Oregon Labor Federation, AFL-CIO @OregonAFLCIO]

We are saddened to see such a preventable loss of life and extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of this fallen worker. We can and must do better to protect Oregon's workers from exposure to extreme heat.

BREAKING: Oregon Senate approves 100% Clean Energy for All (HB 2021) by 16-11 and the bill now goes to @OregonGovBrown for her signature.

This is a historic day for Oregon, amidst record-breaking heat, environmental justice leaders led to this victory. #ORleg #ORpol

[OR-BGAlliance @OBgalliance]

“Right now, frontline workers have no assurance that, in the face of climate hazards like wildfire smoke and excessive heat, that their health and well-being will be prioritized over industry bottom lines,”

"The future of the auto industry is electric. There's no turning back," Joe Biden said at a Ford plant in Michigan, ahead of tonight's rollout of the electric F-150. "The question is whether we will lead or we will fall behind in the race to the future." https://t.co/SohliGnAqr

Investing in public transportation creates a lot of JOBS. #TransitisEssential #JointAddress

[BlueGreen Alliance @BGAlliance]

He's right. There's no reason why we can't build our own #cleanenergy future here in America. Let's get it done, @POTUS.

Please take a moment to honor the many workers who have passed away at the workplace and continue to join us to fight for better workplace conditions.

“The answer: electrifying our diesel-guzzling, fume-pumping school buses. A new report from Jobs to Move America illustrates how to get the transition right for children, workers and communities.”

[ATU, Transit Union @ATUComm]

An op-ed by Int. Pres. John Costa on the importance of moving to electric school buses to protect the health of #schoolbus workers and children and fight climate change, but also to ensure workers are provided training to operate and maintain. https://t.co/Kho7aW1eDl #1u

The United Mine Workers of America leadership announced Monday they support President Joe Biden’s green energy policies in exchange for a robust transition strategy, a move the union hopes its membership will support as a way to transition toward new jobs.

We are honored to be a part of this initiative against the Trump-era policy granting the unjust ability to discriminate

[Oregon Labor Federation, AFL-CIO @OregonAFLCIO]

Urge @OregonGovBrown to make work safe now!
The State of Oregon must protect workers by creating strong rules to protect from exposure to COVID-19 and hold employers accountable when they don’t follow the rules.

Stay indoors when possible.
Use high-efficiency (HEPA) air-cleaning filters to help indoor airborne irritants.
Avoid vacuuming, which can stir up dust.
Drink plenty of water to help reduce symptoms of scratchy throat and coughing. https://t.co/nb792uA2xE #OregonFires2020

This is tragic and unacceptable. It is more important than ever to clearly say that Black lives matter and that white supremacy can no longer be tolerated. https://t.co/kXbox93IHF #BlackLivesMatter
