Nurses at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) voted to authorize a strike Monday. The date of a potential strike hasn't been set or confirmed, but unless union negotiations on behalf of the organization's 3,100 nurses see progress, the nurses could at any point give 10-day notice of a strike.
As OHSU nurses are likely to strike, so are workers at Kaiser Permanente, who voted to authorize a strike and stop work as contract negotiations over better pay and staffing appear to be falling apart.
Speaking of strikes, last week, hundreds of teens skipped school and marched in the streets of downtown Portland for the latest youth-led climate strike. The march saw people of all ages marching alongside Portland youths to demand change from elected leaders. This time, climate strike leaders asked Gov. Tina Kotek to declare a climate emergency, in an effort to reduce Oregon's greenhouse gas emissions.
