Just Enforcement Act (HB 2205) —- Still Fighting!

Oregonians deserve to be treated fairly no matter where they work or what their job is.

The Just Enforcement Act (HB 2205) would have empowered workers by giving them the ability to enforce their workplace rights and use their voices to be heard by their employers. This bill was critical for frontline and essential workers, and failure to pass it this legislative session leaves those workers without a voice. Most at risk are workers who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, or a person of color; women; immigrants; and workers earning a low-wage, all of whom are significantly more likely to experience abuse in the workplace.

We look forward to passing this policy in 2022, and to working with lawmakers on a task force in the interim.
