The Oregon Nurses Association is
planning to have 5,000 health care workers strike at
Providence facilities across the state on Jan. 10 --
including Providence Medford Medical Center. This comes
after ONA and Providence have been at odds over a new
contract, following the old deal at the Medford facility
expiring on March 24. In the most recent development,
the two groups bargained for five days until Dec. 20.
After a "cool-down" period that ended on Dec. 26, ONA
announced the strike today. The strike includes health
care workers in Medford, Portland, Seaside, St. Vincent,
Providence Women's Clinic, Milwaukie, Willamette Falls,
Newberg and Hood River, the release said. Workers are
expected to start their strike at 6 a.m. on Jan. 10.
Medford nurses previously participated in a strike in
June, and have been bargaining with Providence since
January.
