Legacy Agrees To Return To Mediation Following Rejection Of Tentative Agreement - 12/29/25
Portland, Ore. - Just two days after advanced practice providers (APPs) at Legacy Health overwhelmingly rejected the first tentative agreement, Legacy has agreed to return to mediation.
Legacy APPs and Legacy management will meet with a federal mediator on Tuesday, December 30.
The Oregon Nurses Association welcomes this development and views it as a necessary step forward. At the same time, we are clear-eyed about what must happen next. This round of mediation must be approached with urgency, seriousness, and a genuine commitment from Legacy management to negotiate in good faith—around the clock if necessary—until a fair agreement is reached.
APPs want nothing more than a fair contract that supports recruitment and retention of experienced providers, respects the critical work we do, and allows us to deliver the highest quality patient care.
Our patients, our coworkers, and the communities we serve all deserve a timely and fair resolution.
The Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) represents a diverse community of more than 24,000 nurses and healthcare professionals throughout Oregon. Together, we use our collective power to advocate for critical issues impacting patients, nurses and healthcare professionals including a more effective, affordable and accessible healthcare system; better working conditions for all healthcare professionals; and healthier communities.
