Still no deal between nurses union and Providence Hospital to avoid strike

Portland, ORLocal News

The Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) and Providence Hospital have ended mediation talks without a resolution, raising concerns about a potential strike. The cooling-off period concluded on Thursday, allowing the ONA to issue a 10-day notice for a strike at any time. If enacted, this strike would be the largest in Oregon's healthcare history, drawing attention to significant issues regarding staffing and patient safety. The ONA has emphasized the urgency of these concerns during negotiations. Providence Hospital has confirmed ongoing discussions with a federal mediator, indicating a desire to continue negotiations.

The community is closely watching the situation, as a strike could severely impact healthcare services in the region, with high stakes for patient care.
