i don't think gas pump jockeys are union in Oregon... it's just a socialist redistribution thing to give minimum wage make-work jobs to young socialists, but i'm pinging a couple folks who would know for sure. i do know you can't pump your own gas there.

No. But it has been put to a citizen vote and failed. Why? Well do you really LIKE pumping your gas? Apparently a majority of Oregonians do not. It may have to do with the fact that it rains here about 220 days a year. Our gas costs the same as in Washington state,strangely.

They did recently ammend the law making it legal for motorcyclists to pump their own. Previously only licensed attendants could. "Fueling Safety Certificate" I believe is what the license is called.
