A bill that granted unemployment checks to striking workers in Oregon failed two days ago, but an amendment that capped benefits at 10 weeks gave it new life.

A contentious bill that would allow striking workers in Oregon to receive weekly unemployment checks saw a surprise defeat Tuesday when a key lawmaker pulled his support.

After the Department of Labor announced the closure of Tongue Point Job Corps Center last week, students were notified they only had a few days to leave the campus where they lived.

More than a week after workers first hit the picket lines, university officials and the union's bargaining team reached a deal that raises wages and addresses other demands.

More than a hundred picketers circled the main street on UO’s Eugene campus Monday morning. Others lay on the lawn across from Johnson Hall, the school’s administrative building.

A memo from the Department of Labor's chief of staff warns employees they could face criminal charges for unauthorized communication with the media, emphasizing that such actions will be treated as serious offenses.

The Clackamas County Employees' Association, which represents more than 1,000 public employees, says more than 90% of its members voted to strike.

United Academics, the university's faculty union, had declared its intent to strike as early as Monday unless a deal was reached. They’re seeking a contract with higher wages.

A coalition of contractors has argued the move is an unconstitutional power grab.
