The Oregon Legislature has a unique opportunity during the 2026 Legislative Session to hold the line against federal attacks and make life fundamentally better for Oregonians. The Oregon Labor Movement’s priorities meet this moment and will directly touch every Oregonian: whether that’s directly through their job or the services they rely on everyday.

Our 2026 legislative priorities are a roadmap to prosperity and stability for working Oregonians in every community across the state. It’s about building a fair and just economy for everyone while defending against attempts to chip away at previous progress made for working people.
