Oregon’s legislative session began in February and will run through June of this year, as you likely know from reading the paper and listening to the news.
Family Forward Oregon is working hard on several issues during the 2013 session that will move us closer to the family-friendly economy that today’s Oregon families need to thrive. How we decide to focus our efforts in any given year depends on a number of factors, mainly: our short- and long-term goals for making Oregon a great place to be a family, our internal and grassroots capacity, the political climate, and a pinch of carpe diem when an opportunity that matches our values and furthers our goals presents itself.
Our four priorities for 2013 are:
- Paid Sick Days
- Retirement Security
- Pay Equity
- Domestic Worker Protection
