Community Standards to be Included in Eugene, Oregon’s Enterprise Zone

Thanks to the hard work of Eugene-Springfiled Solidarity Network/JwJ members and the Lane County Labor Council, their Community Standards Campaign has cleared an important hurdle. In their April 20th work session, the Eugene City Council passed a resolution to apply for a state enterprise zone. Included is a provision that 25% of the tax-break a business could receive would be contingent upon the employer meeting specific standards for wages, benefits and job security. These standards are to be crafted with community input, with ESSN/JwJ identified as one of the community members to be part of creating the standards.
