Along with other actors in civil society, trade unions are seeking to encourage US States and cities to enact pay equality legislation and secure via the medium of regulations what they struggle to secure via collective bargaining. Oregon’s recent adoption of the Oregon Equal Pay Act of 2017 is just one example (c.f. article No. 10263 for an example on the law over working hours for fast food and retail workers in New York).
Oregon’s new law requires that remuneration levels be based on job-related factors including merit, seniority, quantity or quality of production, workplace locations, travel, education, training and experience.
