Right to a Safe Workplace Every employee has a right to a safe workplace. If you feel the work assignment is not safe: Tell your supervisor “I feel the assigned work is unsafe. Please assign me safe work.” Be sure to let your Union leaders know what happening is happening as soon as possible.

Being part of a labor union means you don't face work problems alone. Unlike unrepresented employees, you have someone on your side to help you solve your issue. Contact a union steward (503-551-4282) for help.

If you find yourself being questioned by supervisors and you are worried about getting in trouble, it is important to know your rights and exercise them.
