Bonham said the rules, “while framed as a step forward to improve worker conditions, risk displacing the very workers they aim to help, enforcing family farms into financial ruin.” He emphasized Oregon's specialty crops and said farmers are 'price takers,' unable to pass added costs to consumers.

Bonham cited cost estimates and program limits: “Labor costs in Oregon are already 70% higher than those of the national average, And now, they're being asked to shoulder compliance cost that average about $1,000,000 per farm, with some in my district as high as $6,400,000.” He said 96% of Oregon farms are family owned and warned that only about one-third of employers providing temporary housing will qualify for the $5,000,000 grant program, which leaves “100 of farmers without support” (as stated in the transcript).

Bonham said the rules could force farms to cut workers or eliminate housing: “Without relief, these rules will drive many family farms out of business reducing Oregon's agricultural output.” His remarks were made during remonstrances; no legislative motion or vote followed.","Senator Bonham told the Senate that new Oregon OSHA agriculture labor housing rules could impose high compliance costs on family farms, risk displacing workers and reduce agricultural output unless relief or collaboration occurs.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6371659,"Senator Meek urges Providence to meet striking health care workers' demands on staffing and pay",124,472920,597635,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2149399-7aaea7e7595a87126e494a9c8b3c19e8&start=472&end=597","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2149399-7aaea7e7595a87126e494a9c8b3c19e8/thumbnail_472920.jpg","/articles/6371659/Oregon/Senator-Meek-urges-Providence-to-meet-striking-health-care-workers-demands-on-staffing-and-pay","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6371659-6e66c943afa105a11d1db4c890163a4b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770946530&Signature=IYsEVZXTQRlv5VE~1pkIY88VF3dbFg3JHUnQathPqzj2fQV0FKMsXKlQJqiQOCn8IZTVcebyBkF6RGW~SPK6hrJ4uVl~iyIRTArdBEoAUP0aT30Z9q10T7PIlftajPsEvFzF-q-5R-Av60YFTV~6xGLnG4UH3hmVVPNbdDOaub52YfsqqYrSeXIImf6a0tE~rBNVJD0uByhxc4f8J8V7pJWeeGWrRr8TNxZVXWqzqf8PGo6bHZVQXEk6LRijkFqZo9V1a41CDACbSjx4R67rA4wYfwh62e0-ZgjlJnMKLtUDjQz4z-W4~GmxzApzrmS8LaI8ISsCOAz3K1JOqEty9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senator Meek used remonstrance time to announce her support for striking Providence health care workers and to press Providence management to address staffing, wages and employee health-care costs.

Meek said, “Every single day, these health care workers provide important care to patients in their communities, often working long hours under difficult conditions.” She said more than 5,000 health care professionals at Providence locations across Oregon are on strike and named communities with striking employees, including Seaside, Milwaukee, Portland, Newburgh, Medford and Hood River.

Meek urged Providence to “invest in patient safety and stop cutting health care services,” to “comply with the safe staffing law to ensure adequate staffing levels,” and to offer “competitive wages and benefits to recruit and retain caregivers.” She also said some staff face high personal costs, noting employees sometimes face “$5,000 out of pocket cost for care at their own workplace.”

Meek criticized Providence's resources and pay scale: “Providence is a $30,000,000,000 corporation whose CEO makes more than $12,000,000 a year. I am sure that Providence can figure out a way to support these workers.” Her remarks were delivered during the remonstrances portion of the Senate; no formal motion or legislative action followed.","Senator Meek spoke in support of more than 5,000 Providence health care workers on strike, urged compliance with Oregon's safe staffing law, and called on the Providence system to improve wages and benefits.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6371664,"Senator Robinson calls Multnomah County's fuel lawsuit hypocritical, says OISM was wrongly named",108,360175,468425,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2149399-7aaea7e7595a87126e494a9c8b3c19e8&start=360&end=468","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2149399-7aaea7e7595a87126e494a9c8b3c19e8/thumbnail_360175.jpg","/articles/6371664/Oregon/Senator-Robinson-calls-Multnomah-Countys-fuel-lawsuit-hypocritical-says-OISM-was-wrongly-named","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6371664-47826a77e316936afb1c62b68b47a82b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770946530&Signature=XMMJo6EgCHlVQ637x7eEe9e40k4Jf3x--B7udZ4eYbRnRSvBdWmA6gViBJpa5d5iyaC7ypTwSTYFVlbQ8mOK21U2fVriRUKNBF-ZklaDvdXHMTNrduzxhYFWqfkmKClUvgAhS14MsUeOHJfU-Aua6F6yNGkijlK10PduuiJjWUN9byZvq3-QL7BHaq8~x~qnSrNpGxRj25xzhGgGo89EKQ0XrVtgDVnaVDEvR0zAmXU-0bA16tPYnXcsmP4lITd2LGMNsIMijr-Y1fv~fR8hY69QAT~TZieZeIoiZ-u1NxLOyADbztxQpQ~i5vMjjwCyPMsxBrob9o6Uru48gRB6fA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senator Robinson used the Senate's remonstrance period to criticize Multnomah County for suing hydrocarbon fuel suppliers, calling the county's $51,000,000,000 lawsuit hypocritical and saying the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) was wrongly added to the complaint.

Robinson said, “Multnomah County has sued their suppliers of hydrocarbon fuels, like gasoline, for more than $51,000,000,000.” He argued the legal theory amounts to blaming manufacturers for weather events and said the county is pursuing “misrepresentation of their product” while continuing to buy fuel from the same suppliers.

Robinson said OISM was not involved in the county's case and that he is directly connected to the institute: “I am vice president of OISM.” He told the Senate the institute has explained its noninvolvement to previous and current legislators and to the county's lawyers. Robinson also invoked free-speech protections, saying, “The first amendment protects free speech, the right of to petition the government, and the right of scientific expression.”

Robinson described the lawsuit as likely to fail and predicted legal costs, stating, “It will cost them 1,000,000 of dollars in attorney fees when they lose this ridiculous lawsuit.” He urged that taxpayer funds not be spent on what he called an irresponsible legal action.

No formal action or vote followed Robinson's remarks; they were presented during the remonstrances portion of the Senate session.","Senator Robinson used remonstrance time to criticize Multnomah County's lawsuit against fuel suppliers, saying the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) was wrongly added and arguing the suit threatens free speech.","actionData","errors"]
