Description

Tiffany Wilkins, eastern Oregon representative of the Local 701 chapter of the International Union of Operating Engineers and a resident of Arlington, said every wind and solar project in Gilliam County has been built with union labor. Wilkins was joined by members of other construction industry unions at a news conference on Jan. 21, 2026, to launch the Climate Jobs Oregon coalition.

On the side of a rural highway in north central Oregon sandwiched between rolling hills of volcanic rock and high desert dotted with livestock, solar and wind farms, about two dozen members of Oregon construction, electrical and ironworkers unions came together to launch a new labor coalition.
