This is the second attempt to bring the strike to an end. An earlier proposed deal was rejected by nurses at all eight Providence hospitals in the state.

Officials at Providence Health and Services have agreed to return to negotiations with a union representing nearly 5,000 nurses across eight hospitals statewide.

Oregon's largest hospital system cited the length of the strike in a notice to nurses who've walked out from eight hospitals. The union accused Providence of delaying after members voted down a tentative deal.

Providence Medford says striking nurses have rejected a contract offer by the hospital, continuing as part of one of the largest health care worker walkouts in the state’s history.

Nurses at Providence Medford have until Saturday to finish voting on the proposed deal.

Deal includes pay increases, a fresh look at health insurance and language around nurse-to-patient ratios.

Three weeks in, the two sides say they want a quick resolution to the largest nurses' strike in state history.

A statewide walkout of Providence health care workers continues with little progress on negotiations.

The Providence hospital system said it’s ready to begin scheduling negotiations with nurses at six out of its eight hospitals. Thousands of the company’s nurses are currently on strike.

Oregon’s Providence hospitals and nearly 5,000 of its workers have yet to agree on terms to bump wages and address staffing shortages.

Just days after 5,000 Providence nurses and doctors announced plans to strike, the health care organization says it wants to return to mediation with doctors and other advanced practitioners who are planning to walk out.

Providence hospital staff gave a 10-day notice for the largest strike of health care workers in Oregon’s history. The walkout includes nurses in the Rogue Valley.
