(Portland, Ore.) – In response to member requests for additional time to review details of the tentative agreement (TA) and participate in informational meetings, all eight striking bargaining units from Providence facilities have extended the deadline for their ratification votes to close to Monday, February 24 at 4:00 p.m.
The ratification vote will begin on Saturday, February 22 at 4:00 p.m. and close on Monday, February 24 at 4:00 p.m. Bargaining units who ratify their TAs will then return to work on Thursday, February 27.
The original Sunday, February 23 at 4:00 p.m. deadline was set to facilitate a Wednesday, February 26 return to work for those who ratified their agreements.
This extension reflects our commitment to ensuring nurses have the time and resources they need to make informed decisions about their contracts.
