Justice organizations push for overtime pay for Oregon farmworkers
View Comments
A panel from Pineros Y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste on Tuesday urged legislators to pass legislation that would require Oregon farmers to pay overtime.
Panelists included Ramon Ramirez, a founding member and former president of PCUN; Nkenge Harmon Johnson, president and CEO of the Urban League of Portland; and Eric Richardson, executive director of the Lane County NAACP. Sharon Gary-Smith, president of Portland s NAACP,
moderated the discussion.
If House Bill 2358 passes, agricultural workers would only be able to work more than 40 hours in one workweek if their employer guaranteed overtime pay at one and one-half times the worker’s regular rate of pay per hour or one and one-half times the regular price for all work done on a piece-rate basis.
