Providence nurses on 3-day strike in largest such event in Oregon history – OPB’s Think Out Loud

Nurses in six Providence hospitals around Oregon are taking the unusual tact of going on a three-day strike at the same time. It’s the largest such nursing strike in Oregon history. Each of the six different bargaining units are negotiating with their employer separately but they say their issues are similar across the board: staffing ratios and levels, benefits and overall compensation. Our guests are Anne Tan Piazza, executive director of the Oregon Nurses Association and Jennifer Gentry, chief nursing officer with Providence.
