Senator Mark Meek Stands Up to Wage Theft
Oregon State Senator Mark Meek recently visited a non-union Portland job site with Union Carpenter Representatives, where he witnessed the effects of wage theft on workers. He saw firsthand how negligent underpayment is leaving workers struggling to make ends meet and with no future of retirement. We’re proud to stand with leaders like Senator Meek, who are committed to holding bad actors accountable and fighting for fair labor practices to protect workers’ rights.
