Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and Oregon Education Association are teaming up with Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon, Mother PAC, Family Forward Action, and Oregon Action for a new campaign known as Fair Shot Oregon, which will push for state laws that support working women and families.
That could include laws to raise the minimum wage, guarantee that all workers have paid sick days, ensure that women get equal pay for equal work, and set up a state-sponsored low-fee retirement savings plan that all Oregon workers could choose to take part in.
The campaign launched Sept. 16 with press events in four Oregon cities, a campaign web site, and an online video known as “19th Century Man” that spoofs outdated workplace policies.
