As #orleg, we have an opportunity to #PassHB4142 and give hospital workers protections from violence. The message is simple: now is the time and #HB4142 is the path to stronger protections for Oregon's health care heroes. 1/
#HB4142 expands current ORS 163.165 to provide protections currently afforded to public safety officers, pre-hospital emergency response personnel, public transit vehicle operators, taxi drivers, flaggers or highway workers, to hospital workers. 2/ #orleg
This is not a new felony statute. It already exists. This adds another group of people - hospital workers. And if you read through this thread, I would hope you would agree. Read the stories of assault victims. 3/ #orleg #PassHB4142
#HB4142 comes with broad healthcare community and bipartisan support. From the @OregonNurses, Emergency Nurses Assoc, Emergency Physicians, and Hospitals Assoc, including @OHSUNews. #orleg #PassHB4142 4/

For being sponsors on this much needed bill #orleg 5/
With session running out of time, the time is now to move this bill and give hospital workers protections from violence so they can continue to do what they do best without fear - care for Oregonians. #orleg #PassHB4142 6/6

"I was working in the ER, I was 7 weeks pregnant. My husband & I were so excited. I was helping with a patient who was being violent and a danger to self/others. They were able to kick me in the abdomen. 3 wks later, we lost the baby." #orleg #PassHB4142
2/ "My coworker was assaulted last June. She had multiple closed fist hits to her head/neck, resulting in a significant head injury that kept her out of work for months & up to now can only work for a short time due to lingering problems from the assault." #orleg #PassHB4142
3/ "The passage of HB4142 is critical. Healthcare workers are leaving the profession in droves." #orleg #nursetwitter #PassHB4142

It’s likely that you’ve seen something come across the news or your SM feed now about the extreme congestion of container ships sitting outside of LA/Long Beach waters, waiting to berth, & you’ve probably felt the impacts of supply chain disruption at home and/or your biz. 🧵 1/
BOSSCO Trading and Boshart Trucking have been in the drayage/export shipping business for over 15 yrs, and these challenges are some of the greatest we’ve faced to date. We heard from someone at Tyson Foods who has been in logistics for 45 yrs and this is the worst he’s seen. 2/
There’s a lot of finger-pointing, but this isn’t an easy situation you can blame one party or fix with one solution. There is no silver bullet. The supply chain is not flexible.Many are at fault & will need to work together to successfully work through these challenges. 3/
