In a statement Sunday, the Oregon Federation of Nurses & Health Professionals said technical, maintenance and laboratory workers that it represents are picketing over staff shortages, low wages and “anti-union attacks.”
The strike will last until Saturday and workers could picket again later, according to The Columbian.
Jonathan Baker, union chapter president and a lab worker at St. John Medical Center, said the company has not provided acceptable fixes for overworked and underpaid staff.
“Instead of trying to solve these problems, they canceled our bargaining sessions and are choosing (to) terminate the health care insurance that these workers depend on,” Baker said in a written statement. “This is a cruel form of collective punishment directed at a group of health care workers they previously called ‘heroes’ when they were saving lives during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The union has accused PeaceHealth of threatening to cut off health insurance for workers if the strike lasts into November, a fact confirmed earlier this month by PeaceHealth.
