Please join OFNHP on Thursday, August 7^th at 6PM at Terry Schrunk Plaza in downtown Portland as we rally behind our 4,000 members who are currently bargaining with Kaiser Permanente! This event coincides with the national bargaining of the Alliance of Health Care Unions being held just a few blocks away, where our leadership will be fighting for a contract that represents not just OFNHP, but over 60,000 union members at Kaiser locations all across the country.

In recent years, our members’ wages have fallen far below the industry standard, further contributing to the healthcare staffing crisis in our workplaces and leaving our members struggling to make ends meet. We’re fighting for a contract that demands safe staffing levels in all areas of care, protection against the cuts to patient care access, and respectable wages that protects the future of our workforce for years to come. “This fight is about patient safety, about dignity on the job, and about ensuring the people who provide care can afford to care for themselves and their families,” said Sarina Roher, President of OFNHP. “Our communities deserve better, and it’s going to take all of us — healthcare workers, unions, and community members — standing together to make it happen.”

We are also sponsoring a Blood Drive at our union hall on Friday, August 8^th from 12-5PM as an excellent end to our week of action! Please see the information below on how to get signed up for a time.

We hope to see you and your members on Thursday, August 7^th at 6PM!
