Oregon AFSCME members have increasingly sounded the alarm about escalating workplace dangers. Over 500 workers shared experiences of physical violence, threats, and life-threatening conditions. They exposed chronic understaffing, alarming gaps in safety protocols, inadequate training, and insufficient support after incidents—and they demanded change.

The survey - and the report we created to share publicly - is a wake-up call and a rallying cry, urging state leadership and managers to prioritize worker safety and take immediate action to protect those on the frontlines.
