    EP 82: Historic Strike - Providence Health, Oregon
    Jan 7 2025
    In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica interview Dr. Jennifer Lincoln and Denise Arnold RN about an upcoming historic strike involving 5,000 healthcare workers at multiple Oregon hospitals. The guests detail the needs they've been negotiating for, including safe staffing, benefits, and comparable wages. They discuss the challenges faced during negotiations with Providence Health, the alleged union-busting tactics by Providence, and the misrepresentation of their struggles in the media. The conversation highlights the solidarity among nurses and doctors and the need for equitable treatment across different hospitals. They also address discrepancies in sick leave policies and recent changes in health insurance. The conversation includes the risks associated with scab nurses and the impact that providers going on strike has on healthcare costs. They express hope for future negotiations while highlighting the solidarity among healthcare workers in their fight for better treatment and support. They emphasize the importance of community support while also addressing the business-oriented nature of healthcare that often prioritizes profits over patient care.
