The bill would allow workers who have been stiffed—or the Oregon Department of Justice on their behalf—to sue the general contractor or the owner of a project, rather than just a subcontractor who might have hired them.

Oregon is the top producer of softwood lumber in the country, so the order could have serious implications for the state. Nick Cady is the legal director of Cascadia Wildlands in Eugene. He says the order’s claim that onerous federal policies have forced the country to rely on imported lumber is incorrect. In fact, he says the U-S is one of the world’s leading timber exporters.
