Construction employers face unique challenges when responding to workplace complaints, from rotating crews and multiple employers on a single jobsite to informal, fast-paced communication that can allow issues to escalate quickly. Yet employers remain obligated to take prompt, remedial action when complaints rise to the level of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation.
Miller Nash invites construction employers to join this free webinar on March 3, 2026 for practical, real-world guidance on who is protected on a jobsite, what conduct triggers an investigation, how liability can arise, and what effective investigations and remedial action look like in a construction setting, with a focus on Oregon and Washington requirements.
