Providence updates proposals, offers dates at all tables, prepared for lengthy strike

Today, working with federal mediators, Providence bargaining teams have sent updated proposals and suggested bargaining dates for nurses represented by Oregon Nurses Association at all eight Oregon hospitals. Providence teams also are sending proposals and dates for hospitalists at Providence St. Vincent, and for the two bargaining units at Providence Women’s Clinic.

The dates offered include resumption of bargaining as early as tomorrow (Friday) morning and continuing through the weekend and into next week. Providence teams believe focused, intensive discussions at each table will be needed to make progress in negotiations.

Only union leaders can end the strike against Providence, and doing so would be in the best interest of our nurses, providers, patients and community. In response to multiple requests to return to work, Providence is offering acute care nurses an opportunity to return to work by reporting this Sunday. Further details are available through Providence’s internal communication channels. Nurses who have questions about reporting to work should contact their supervisors.
