1 2016 Legislative Report Card
2 2016 Legislative Report Card A Step In The Right Direction SEIU members have won major victories for our families and our communities during the last two sessions of the Oregon Legislature. The 2015 and 2016 sessions, taken as a whole, were major steps in the right direction for our state. However, there is still much to be done. SEIU Oregon State Council s 2016 Legislative Report Card looks back at the major achievements that legislators made in 2015 and 2016, while also looking forward to critically important issues that our state will need to address in the coming years. Many legislators championed critical issues in 2015 and 2016, and many more voted to help fix the economy and give working people a fair shot to succeed. The scope of this report does not represent a legislator s entire body of work, but rather their commitment to SEIU and our partners priorities.
3 Fair Shot For All SEIU members champion issues that help everyday Oregonians make progress towards a better life, so they don t have to struggle for life s basic amenities. In this spirit, we joined over 20 community and labor organizations to form the Fair Shot for All Coalition with the belief that Oregonians need to do more than just get by, they need a way to get ahead. The coalition s agenda during the 2015 and 2016 legislative sessions resulted in landmark policy changes that will improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of Oregonians. The coalition will continue to pursue unfinished business, such as wage theft, in the next legislative session and 2016 Fair Shot Legislative Agenda Raise The Wage SB 1532 Paid Sick Days SB 454 Retirement Security HB 2960 Ban The Box HB 3025 End Profiling HB 4003, HB 2002 PASSED! PASSED! PASSED! PASSED! PASSED! Stopping Wage Theft 2017
4 Major Victories In 2015 and 2016 SEIU and our coalition partners helped to achieve major victories for workers and all Oregonians in 2015 and Raise The Wage With the passage of SB 1532, hundreds of thousands of people in Oregon will get the raise they so urgently need. While the new minimum wage may not be everything that workers need, the law is an important step in our ongoing work to lift Oregonians out of poverty. Paid Sick Leave With the passage of SB 454, hundreds of thousands of people will not have to fear losing their job or their paycheck if they get sick. Qualified Rehabilitation Facilities (QRF) Reform Due to HB 3248, QRFs now allow workers to keep their jobs if contractors change. Ban The Box With the passage of HB 3025, a person s past criminal history will no longer disqualify them from getting through the first round of a job application process. Retirement Security As a result of HB 2960, workers who previously had no access to retirement at work will now have a chance to save money for their future, if they choose. Expanding ERDC With expanded funding for Employment-Related Day Care, more families will be able to access the program as their careers progress, and caregivers will receive a much needed wage increase. Investing in Oregon s Universities The 2015 budget expanded funding for Oregon s public universities. Ending Profiling By taking the first step with HB 2002 in 2015, the Legislature made progress toward ending the practice of profiling by law enforcement. In 2016, the legislature passed HB 4003, which requires the Attorney General and the Work Group on the Prevention of Profiling by Law Enforcement to issue a report with recommendations on how to identify, record, and correct instances of profiling. While it s exciting that progress is happening, there is still more to do on this important issue. Protect Child Welfare Workers With the passage of HB 3391, child welfare workers will get support from the Department of Justice when their personal safety is threatened as a result of their work.
5 The 2015 Budget The 2015 budget played a role in improving the lives of everyday Oregonians. The Legislature funded critical services and the workers that provide them, and began the process of reinvesting in higher education. These improvements did not happen by accident. Legislators made a deliberate choice to start investing in the programs that make a difference in the lives of everyday Oregonians. Just look at the benefits. Increased funding for Employment Related Day Care, which increased access, quality and worker pay for child care providers Increased funding for universities and community colleges Funded caseload in child welfare Increased access to services for seniors and people with developmental disabilities Funded schools so they can hire more teachers and bring down class sizes Increased funding for front-line state workers Increased training and a path to $15/hr for homecare workers Representative Buckley, Senator Devlin, Speaker Kotek and President Courtney deserve credit for prioritizing kids, seniors, working families and other vulnerable populations. In spite of these investments, we still have much to do to create a budget that provides a safety net for all Oregonians who need it, increases access to colleges and universities for middle class families, and fully funds our schools.
6 Long-Term Revenue Solutions We need a game-changing solution to the revenue shortfall in Oregon that provides long-term stability and addresses our state s significant corporate tax loopholes. We can no longer settle for short-term fixes. While we have seen some victories in recent years, that progress will be lost without a long-term solution. There is still so much more to do. Due to a lack of funding, the waiting list for Employment-Related Day Care has been activated. We still have the third largest class sizes in the nation and one of the shortest school years. More than 400,000 Oregonians don t have access to health insurance, including 13,000 children. Since 2008, there has been a 29% increase in the number of seniors living in poverty. Parents are still being forced to decide between going to work or caring for their kids because the cost of childcare is simply out of reach for many working families. Oregon has the lowest corporate taxes in the country. Hard-working Oregonians are paying their taxes, but out-of-state corporations aren t paying theirs. Oregon has some of the least affordable housing in the country, driving working families further and further away from their jobs. These important services are underfunded because large and out-of-state corporations don t pay their fair share in Oregon taxes. Some of the world s largest corporations such as Comcast and US Bank use credits, loopholes, and accounting tricks to dodge millions of dollars in Oregon taxes. Meanwhile, everyday people and small business are left holding the bill. A long-term revenue solution is a critical step toward funding the services that give everyone a fair shot.
7 How The Grades Were Determined How The Grades Were Determined Our union graded legislators on their work to help everyday Oregonians make progress toward a better life. The following grades are based on a legislator s votes, their organizing and bargaining work on behalf of SEIU members, and their leadership on key issues. Vote scoring was based on 19 key bills in the House and 17 key bills in the Senate. Legislators were penalized for voting against these measures. Legislators with a + next to their grade were awarded a bonus for sponsoring and championing a bill on behalf of SEIU members or supporting workers who were organizing or bargaining. Scoring: 0 votes against: A 1-3 votes against: B 4-6 votes against: C 7-9 votes against: D 10 and over: F Key legislation in the House: Profiling (HB 2002), Child Care (HB 2015), COFA (HB 2522), Bargaining (HB 2544), University Shared Services (HB 2611), Retirement Security (HB 2960), Ban the box (HB 3025), Privacy (HB 3037), QRF (HB 3248), Protecting Public Workers from Stalking (HB 3391), Cover All Kids (HB 3517), Sick Days (SB 454), Staffing (SB 469), Tuition Equity (SB 932 ), Basic Health Plan (HB 4017), COFA (HB 4071), Tenant Protections (HB 4143), Minimum Wage (SB 1532), Whistle Blower (HB 4067). Key legislation in the Senate: Profiling (HB 2002), Child Care (HB 2015), COFA (HB 2522), University Shared Services (HB 2611), Retirement Security (HB 2960), Ban the Box (HB 3025), Privacy (HB 3037), QRF (HB 3248), Protecting Public Workers from Stalking (HB 3391), Sick Days (SB 454), Staffing (SB 469), and Tuition Equity (SB 932) Basic Health Plan (HB 4017), COFA (HB 4071), Tenant Protections (HB 4143), Minimum Wage (SB 1532), Whistle Blower (HB 4067). Note: Because HB 2544 and HB 3517 were never brought to a vote in the Senate, the base grade for Senators is a B.
