Providence and nurses at its eight Oregon hospitals have reached a tentative agreement after 26 days of strike

Hundreds of striking workers line the road outside of Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, in Portland, Ore., Jan. 10, 2025. Thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday at all eight Providence hospitals in the state as well as six women’s clinics, including nurses, physicians and advanced practitioners.

An apparent breakthrough in the nearly month-long strike at Providence hospitals was reached Tuesday night as both Providence officials and the Oregon Nurses Association announced a tentative deal at all eight locations affected.

Union members still need to ratify the contract. Voting is set to start Thursday morning and end Friday afternoon.

The struggle of Oregon nurses must be connected to the fight against the Trump administration's fascist attacks on immigrants and dismantling of public health.
