Nurses and Doctors Are on Strike at Eight Oregon Hospitals
www.labornotes.org
Declaring that understaffing had them “running on empty,” 5,000 nurses, doctors, midwives, and nurse practitioners walked off the job January 10 in an open-ended strike at Providence Health and Services, the dominant hospital chain in the Pacific Northwest. The strikers work at eight hospitals plus women’s health clinics across Oregon. They’re demanding proper staffing, affordable health insurance, and competitive pay that can attract and retain seasoned workers.

    I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.

    For profit healthcare is against the hypocritical oath.

    Doctors and nurses are a special set of people, and to have their talents and patient care reduce to a dollar amount is insulting.
