In a significant development in Oregon's historic healthcare workers strike, the ONA and Providence Oregon have agreed to re-engage in mediations/

Auditors with the Secretary of State’s Office earlier in January flagged some spending by Gov. Tina Kotek as “minor” and “unintentional” apparent violations of state ethics law.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek says she will uphold state law prohibiting government officials and police from helping federal immigration officers.

Three weeks in, the two sides say they want a quick resolution to the largest nurses' strike in state history.

Trump has suddenly severed federal funding, which is an overreach of powers, the governor and attorney general say.

Providence Health & Services in Oregon and the unions that represent its striking health care workers said Wednesday they would resume in-person talks after Gov. Tina Kotek urged them to end the strike.

But within the state, the numbers vary widely by county, from a high of 51.1% in Malheur County to a low of 22.2% in Benton County. One reason Trump might be cautious about cutting too heavily into Medicaid: In Oregon, at least, rates of Medicaid enrollment are highest in Trump strongholds.

In a statement sent to KOIN 6 on Monday, Kotek’s office said the Salem spot “was under the advisement of the Dignitary Protection Unit (DPU) of the Oregon State Police. It is consistent with past practice to reserve one parking space for the Governor.” Officials added that the validity of the D.C parking space is still under review.

With the Oregon Nurses Association strike entering its 20th day, the nurses union and Providence have reentered mediation at the request of Gov. Tina Kotek.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek and Attorney General Dan Rayfield hosted a press conference at the State Library on Tuesday in response to President Donald Trump’s attempt to freeze some federal funding.

The intervention by the governor is the “kiss of death” for the striking healthcare worker, aimed at shutting down the strike with a sellout contract before it expands.

Oregon officials are speaking Tuesday afternoon ahead of a federal funding freeze ordered by the Trump administration and how it could impact the state. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek and Attorney General Dan Rayfield are expected to speak at 12:45 p.
