Members of the Oregon Health & Science University and Oregon Nurses Association bargaining teams on Wednesday, April 19, met for in-person negotiations at ONA, provided their remaining opening proposals, and discussed the Extended CNI MOU. 

The session was the agreed-upon deadline to provide all opening proposals, so the parties now have the full scope of issues that they want to negotiate during this bargaining cycle. This is an important milestone and the OHSU team looks forward to reaching more tentative agreements soon. 

Proposals

The ONA bargaining team brought forward four new proposals:

OHSU provided several proposals and counterproposals for ONA’s consideration, including: 

In addition to the exchanged proposals, the parties had a robust and productive discussion about the Extended CNI MOU, which is due to expire Sunday, April 23, unless the parties agree to extend it. OHSU committed to provide a counterproposal on Thursday, in light of the additional and clarified information provided in the discussion. 

Tentative Agreement 

The parties did not reach tentative agreements this session. 

Going forward 

Apart from the week of May 17, the parties are meeting weekly for the next eight weeks. Negotiations will resume April 26, in-person at OHSU, when the parties will continue exchanging counterproposals.
