As you may have heard, Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals members in Oregon and Southwest Washington have delivered a 10-day strike notice to Kaiser Permanente for a 5-day strike scheduled to start on October 14. 

OFNHP represents 5,200 workers in six bargaining units at Kaiser, and the contracts for four of those bargaining units expired on September 30th. These healthcare professionals are fighting to bring Kaiser back to what it once stood for - a value system that puts patients first and works in partnership with caregivers.

There are several things you can do to support these essential workers in our community as they get closer to October 14th:

1. Join OFNHP's informational picket in Portland on Wednesday, October 8th and demand Kaiser come to the table to avoid a strike! 
   
   Show Kaiser you stand in solidarity with these vital workers from 5PM to 7PM at Kaiser Interstate South (3500 N Interstate Ave, Portland, OR 97227 - click here for a map.) Please print out the attached flier, share it with your friends and fellow working people, and encourage them to join the picket as well!
   
   OFNHP will also be holding additional pickets on

• Tuesday 10/7/25 from 11 AM to 1 PM at Kaiser Westside Hospital (2875 NE Stucki Ave, Hillsboro, OR 97124 - click here for a map)
• Thursday 10/9/25 from 5PM to 7PM at Kaiser North Lancaster (2400 Lancaster Drive NE, Salem, OR 97305 - click here for a map)
   

2. Send a letter to Kaiser CEO Greg Adams telling him to stop the stonewalling in negotiations and bring Kaiser back to the values it was founded on!
