2023-24 Environmental Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature

SB 907

Right to Refuse Dangerous Work

In solidarity with our friends at Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste (PCUN), we supported this legislation that empowers workers to refuse work under dangerous conditions. This is a climate justice issue as farmworkers and others who have to work outside have been expected to expose themselves to dangerous smoke and extreme heat largely due to climate change.

Yes is the pro-environment vote.

About the Scorecard

For more than 40 years, OLCV has protected Oregon's natural legacy. An essential part of our work is holding our elected officials accountable. The OLCV Environmental Scorecard is not only one of our most important accountability tools, but also a tradition. The first scorecard was published in 1973.

By sharing how each member of the Legislature voted on the most critical conservation bills, we help Oregonians understand whether legislators listened to their constituents, or if they listened to special interest groups instead. It also serves as a summary of environmental bills and includes special recognition of the legislative champions.
