Healthcare workers in Oregon plan to strike starting Jan. 10 over staffing, wages, and conditions.

5,000 healthcare workers in Oregon, including nurses and physicians at Providence hospitals and clinics, plan to strike starting January 10. The strike, authorized by the Oregon Nurses Association, is due to disputes over staffing levels, wages, and working conditions. Providence has prepared replacement workers to continue care during the strike, which could be avoided if negotiations yield an agreement.
