Disappointing: Our First Mediation Session Update

Dear Colleagues,

Negotiating our contract during Covid-19 has been rough. As Oregon's cases surge and our frontline staff face repeated exposures, testing, and quarantine, we are all feeling the stress of the season and the year.

OHSU Can Do Better

Dear Colleagues,

We are disheartened to hear about recent COVID exposures amongst OHSU staff; we are thinking about those in quarantine, those on the frontlines of this COVID pandemic, and our patients struggling with COVID at record numbers. We are particularly alarmed about the recent COVID outbreak amongst employees because of the continued overcrowding of our workspaces.

Unfair Labor Practice Settlement

OHSU Residents Deserve More

Dear Colleagues,

Your elected bargaining team has been in negotiations for 224 days in a time of unprecedented stress for physicians. Our proposals remain innovative and focused on diversity and equity to specifically address the concerns of women, parents, and underrepresented minorities in medicine.

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past eight months, we've used a variety of techniques to show OHSU what is important to us, and why. Last night, we did it again, but this time we brought friends. In addition to our dedicated resident observers, Multnomah County Commissioner Sharon Meieran, M.D., and State Representatives Maxine Dexter, M.D., and Sheri Schouten, R.N., joined our negotiations last night and provided encouragement in our efforts to help OHSU stay competitive with other west coast academic institutions and improve the health and wellbeing of house officers.

Dear Colleagues,

Last night, after a two week delay that they requested, OHSU delivered a counter-proposal on outstanding items. We had hoped that with the extra time and OHSU's better than expected financials, they would move the process forward in a substantial and meaningful way.

Unfortunately, they did not.
