Manufacturers face some of the highest workers compensation costs of any industry. SAIF helps keep Oregon manufacturers competitive in regional and global markets despite the costly obstacles we face in other areas of our state’s regulatory environment. During the 2019 legislative session, OMC strongly opposed attempts to “raid” SAIF’s reserves to pay down Oregon’s unfunded pension liability. We are committed to protecting SAIF and the integrity of its assets and reserves so that Oregon employers and employees may continue to be serviced by a workers’ compensation program that has become a model for the country.
