Even though our Republican controlled Legislature voted in SB 460 I'm told that as long as they're in session they can reverse themselves.
A huge turnout on Workers Memorial Day could just do it. Get yourselves down to the Capitol on April 28th.
Here's how your legislators voted on the bill. If yours isn't listed as a nay they don't care about you or Oregon workers, just campaign contributions from businesses including the insurance companies.
Thanks to:
Senators: Castillo, Corcoran, Dukes, Gordly, Hannon & Trow.
Representatives: Beck, Bowman, Gardner, Hansen, Kafoury, Leonard, Lowe, Merkley, Piercy, Prozanski,
Rasmussen, Rosenbaum, Ross, Taylor, Uherbelau & Walker
