Last Thursday hundreds of nurses, union members, lawmakers, community leaders and even the mayor, all turned out on the picket line to show support for our fight for a fair contract! We had an amazing, energetic, and inspiring show of solidarity and power.

In addition to a diverse turnout, Portland area media has also taken an interest in our fight for a fair contract! Check out the links below to read and view some of the recent media coverage.

We are back at the bargaining table tomorrow. This will be the first time that we will be meeting with a federal mediator. Unfortunately, observers are not allowed in Federal mediation. So, do not plan on attending tomorrow. That said, we will be bargaining on May 15 without a mediator. WSNA members are welcome to attend that bargaining session. To observe the bargaining session on May 15, 2024 Email sscholl@wsna.org to RSVP.
