Marion County Judge Rules Governor Koteks Union Labor Order Unconstitutional
A Marion County judge declared Governor Tina Koteks executive order mandating union labor on state construction projects unconstitutional. The order, aimed at setting pay, benefits, and conditions through project labor agreements, never took effect due to legal challenges. Critics argued Kotek overstepped legislative boundaries, while supporters defended it as a way to ensure project stability and boost apprenticeships. The ruling comes as ODOT faces a budget shortfall, with project labor agreements potentially adding 10-20% to construction costs.
