about

The CPR for Oregon Nurses Slate is the most accomplished group of elected bargaining unit leaders in ONA, who’ve directly led many of our union’s most successful contract campaigns since the pandemic. Our Leaders’ wins include the lead table in the largest healthcare strike in Oregon history, the highest wages and staffing standards at the biggest health systems in Oregon for caregivers who passed strike votes in units as large as 4,000 workers and as small as 150 members in towns like Seaside. Our commitment is to use our experience as member leaders, who led historic wins in units large and small, to support democratic and transparent efforts for members across the entire state of Oregon, as we take on the threat of healthcare funding cuts.

Our slate includes OHSU officers who won the highest wages in Oregon history and best staffing standards. Providence member leaders who held the line as the lead table and CAT Coordinators for the largest healthcare strike in Oregon history, and secured the highest wages in Oregon for a small hospital in Providence Seaside. Samaritan Health officers who secured huge market increases for smaller hospitals in Lebanon, Albany, and Newport, and aided in unprecedented success in overturning plans to close hospital units in the Willamette Valley’s Samaritan Health System.

We built member power through transparent democratic decision-making, coordinated power building, and are committed to using that experience to improve standards and fight cuts for our entire union!
