The Lund Report; by Nathan Wilk; 4/23/24
Homecare and hospice nurses at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart in Springfield [OR] have authorized a second strike that could last indefinitely. The nurses are seeking a contract with same wage increases as their in-hospital counterparts. They previously went on strike for two weeks in February. ...During the previous strike, nurses accused PeaceHealth of providing poor replacement care to patients. If this strike goes through, Waltasti said it would continue to provide uninterrupted services, but he also pointed to other options for patients.
