Nearly 5,000 healthcare professionals are calling on Providence Health & Services to return to the bargaining table and prioritize patients over profits by offering frontline caregivers a fair contract. The strike is set to begin on January 10 with picketing held at 8 hospitals across Oregon. Workers on strike include nurses, physicians, physician associates, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, clinical staff, and other healthcare professionals.
ONA members are holding this historic and courageous strike because of Providence’s unfair labor practices, dangerously understaffed hospitals, the need for more time with patients, affordable employee healthcare, and competitive wages and benefits to help recruit and retain essential caregivers.
Join the picket lines and stand in solidarity with healthcare workers fighting for better care for their patients and a stronger future for caregivers. When Oregon Labor comes together to support striking workers, we help ensure the strike is successful and truly build power for working Oregonians.Â
The strike will continue until a fair contract is reached and will start at 6:00am on Friday, January 10. Then picket lines will be active from 7:00am - 5:00pm daily at the following locations:Â
