The Jordan Cove project in Southern Oregon will create 6,000 union construction jobs at peak with an average of 2,000 jobs over four years. These will be family wage jobs for Union members from the Pacific Northwest. This project will offer new apprenticeship opportunities to train the next generation of men and women in the trades and, when completed, it will pay more than $100 million in state and local taxes every year. That’s a lot of money for schools, police and fire protection, roads and public services that families count on.

Tell Senator Jeff Merkley that creating jobs in rural Oregon and keeping trade unions working is important to you, and that is why you support Jordan Cove.
