Besides COVID-19 pay for frontline workers - this would apply to those still at worksites or those assigned to work with COVID-19 positive people. The state has indicated they are not willing to make any additional COVID-risk pay. While we are disappointed with the state’s response, we will continue to fight to recognize the extreme burden being placed on these workers. We need to do more than just call these workers heroes. Our union is continuing to fight to provide Oregon workers with the equipment you need to stay safe and the pay and benefits deserved for the work you do. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/iamessential
