Providence Health Faces Strike

(Portland, OR) -- Providence Health in Oregon is facing the largest healthcare workers strike in the state's history and the first involving doctors. The Oregon Nurses Association is bargaining for better pay and a lower ratio of patients. Nurses say it's necessary for better care of patients. Providence says it's offered acute-care nurses 20 percent raises over three years and some doctors would see an increase of at least 20-thousand-dollars.
