Bureau of Labor and Industries - Oregon

Among other things the Civil Rights Division enforces laws granting job
seekers and employees equal access to jobs, career schools, promotions,
and a work environment free from discrimination and harassment. These
laws ensure that workers' jobs are protected when they report worksite
safety violations, use family leave or the workers' compensation system.
Civil rights laws also provide protection for those seeking housing or
using places of public accommodation such as retail establishments, or
transportation.
