(Gresham, OR) -- Nurses at Legacy Mount Hood have a new tentative contract just days after authorizing a strike. The Oregon Nurses Association says the agreement offers higher pay, added protections against unfair discipline, and stronger measures to keep staff safe on the job. Union leaders argue the deal will help recruit and retain nurses while improving patient care in East Multnomah County. The proposal now heads to more than 400 nurses for a ratification vote, with both the union and Legacy Health calling it a major step toward stability after two years of tense negotiations.
