67% of Oregon AFSCME members surveyed have faced physical violence, threats, or trauma at work. Our Unsafe on the Job report exposes the urgent need for stronger workplace safety policies. It's time for action. #ORpol #WorkplaceSafety

67% of Oregon AFSCME members surveyed have faced violence, threats, or trauma on the job. Understaffing & lack of safety measures are putting workers at risk. It's time for action.
Oregon needs to pass SB 24 & SB 606 to protect frontline workers! #orleg

Oregon AFSCME members demand action on workplace safety! Two-thirds of surveyed workers faced serious workplace safety concerns. We're backing bills for safer staffing levels & expanded PTSI coverage. Lawmakers must act now! #OrLeg https://t.co/RWb3b3F7O8

While PDX officials are focused on transitioning the form of gov't, they can't forget about the people who show up every day to do the actual work. The greatest gift this council can give our soon-to-be elected leaders is the gift of labor peace. #orpol

We mourn the loss of Rev. James Lawson, a hero of the Memphis Sanitation Strike and champion for justice. His commitment to nonviolent activism and workers' rights inspires us to continue fighting for dignity and equality. #RestInPower #OregonAFSCME

OHSU plans to lay off 500 dedicated workers while rewarding execs with enhanced retirement benefits? OHSU should prioritize patient care, live-saving research & frontline workers over exec perks. OHSU do better! #orleg #orpol https://t.co/oLhG598tDL

Yesterday, AFSCME members gathered at Canby City Council meeting to demand accountability after an HR investigation found Councilor Sasse violated the sexual harassment policy. No action has been taken by the city council. @CanbyHerald #DoBetter #Oregon

SB 1578 will ensure that Oregonians who need a certified health care interpreter have access to them -- and the interpreters can actually receive fair pay for their work!

Here to set the record straight on the health care interpreter portal bill (SB 1578) is OHA-registered Spanish interpreter Felicity Ratway.

When union workers are under attack, what do we do?

Email PSU President Cudd and ask for justice for IELP faculty and academic professionals and for a retraction of her misleading and inaccurate depiction of our union to the campus community #HigherEd

During the pandemic, #AFSCME family childcare providers kept their doors open over incredible odds for low-income working families. We agree w/ @GovTinaKotek @DanRayfield @RepLisaReynolds that keeping childcare doors open must be top priority for #orleg. https://t.co/CVBa1H7y2Y

We are heartbroken to lose one of our own, especially when this loss was preventable. Cascadia employees have long been raising concerns about the safety of working shifts alone. This tragedy highlights the need for safer working conditions for our behavioral healthcare workers.

[Evan Watson @EvanWatsonNews]

A union says a mental healthcare worker was working an *overnight shift alone* when she was stabbed and killed by a resident at a Cascadia Health facility in Gresham.

New details on the disturbing case, highlighting dangers in a much-needed field @KGWNews

Despite the Dept. of Corrections' stated commitment to ending the staffing crisis, the number of vacant positions has actually risen from 209 in December 2022 to 319 currently, creating significantly higher health and safety risks to everyone in the building.
