News Release

Striking APPs From Legacy Reach Second Tentative Agreement - 12/30/25

Portland, Ore. - Striking advanced practice providers (APPs) have reached a second tentative agreement with Legacy Health, marking a significant victory for the 135 frontline providers who have been on strike demanding a fair contract since December 2. As part of the agreement, the strike will end before the completion of the ratification vote, and APPs will return to work in the coming days.

 

This agreement represents a major shift by Legacy Health. When ONA members first issued their 10-day strike notice, Legacy stated they would not bargain. They did. Legacy then claimed they would not change their offer. They did. And after the first tentative agreement was overwhelmingly rejected by APPs, Legacy moved further—advancing the timing of raises along with other improvements.

 

In addition to across-the-board raises, key provisions of the second tentative agreement include a clarified provision on extra shift pay, enhanced compensation for night and extended shifts, and the creation of a Labor–Management Committee to improve communication and proactively address workplace issues.

 

If ratified, this agreement would be the first contract for Legacy APPs and would end Legacy’s ability to make unilateral decisions about critical workplace issues. The contract establishes just-cause protections for discipline and termination, ensuring due process and clear, enforceable standards.

 

If the contract is not ratified, Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) members and Legacy Health have agreed to a 90-day cooling-off period. During this time, ONA will not return to strike as negotiations continue.

 

APPs play a critical role in our healthcare system, standing on the frontlines, caring for Oregonians, and saving lives. If their contract is ratified, they will gain the full protections of a union, marking a significant milestone for healthcare workers in Oregon. Once again, APPs are leading the way and demonstrating what true solidarity and collective action look like.

 

ONA will not provide further comment until the ratification vote concludes.

 

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.
