"The Portland Community College (PCC) board voted Thursday to authorize a separation agreement with its president, Adrien Bennings. The move follows a rough patch at the college, with a historic strike by both PCC unions, a host of financial challenges impacting the curriculum, and ethics complaints filed with the Oregon Government Ethics Commission over potential conflicts of interest with Bennings' business branding used by the college. Bennings will receive a $261,000 payout, plus a $25,000 retention bonus, and a glowing review of her job performance to use in future job searches."
"PeaceHealth Oregon's top executive had been placed on leave a month ago after allegations he violated the scope of his administrative license and attempted to dictate patient care that went against providers' clinical judgment."
"Workers at downtown Portland's Muji-the Japanese clothing and home goods brand-have decided to unionize, joining the Wobblies in the collective fight for better working conditions. The Portland store is the only Muji on the West Coast. Local fans better hope the company doesn't announce a sudden crime wave and leave town just to bust up the union, like those other guys."
