Nurses in six Providence hospitals around Oregon are going on a 3-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, including staffing ratios and levels and benefits and overall compensation. We hear from Anne Tan Piazza, executive director of the Oregon Nurses Association, and Jennifer Gentry, chief nursing officer for Providence.
