All six of our Kaiser Permanente bargaining and recently reached a Tentative Agreement (TA) for our local contracts at each unit-specific bargaining table. While we have been in National Bargaining for nearly a year, Kaiser has not actually come to the National table so far in 2026.  We are still in the process of fighting for the national agreement language, and will keep you updated as we learn more.

This page will be kept up to date so that you can see updates from all of our bargaining units and the national table, as well as any other resources you will need along the way. Remember that we

Nearly 70 technicians represented by the Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals (OFNHP) at Adventist Health Columbia Gorge (AHCG) in The Dalles have ratified their second union contract, marking another major step forward for the unit. The agreement passed with a 100% “Yes” vote among those who participated, demonstrating overwhelming support for the gains secured through collective bargaining.

The new contract delivers significant improvements in wages, differentials, scheduling practices, and workplace policies. One of the most important wins is a major overhaul of the wage

On Monday, March 3rd, nearly 500 Labcorp laboratory professionals represented by the Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals (OFNHP, AFT Local 5017, AFL-CIO) reached and signed a Tentative Agreement (TA) on their first union contract after more than a year of negotiations. The workers perform a range of skilled laboratory roles across multiple sites and have been bargaining to secure stronger wages, job protections, and standards that support quality patient care.

"This contract is more than just a victory for workers seeking their voices to be respected by their employer,” said

Hello OFNHP family,

I know many members are feeling anxious about the lack of information coming out of national bargaining.

Here’s the reality: we can’t ratify our local agreement until the National Agreement issues are resolved. The National Agreement lives as an appendix to our local contracts. Until those national issues are settled, there is no complete agreement to vote on.

I’m reluctant to make predictions in a moment like this. There’s too much uncertainty and too little information about what is happening at other local tables. But I hope we’ll have more clarity in the next few days

After nearly a year of bargaining we are still waiting for Kaiser to move on our national agreement and get back to the table with the over 60,000 workers who are collectively bargaining as a part of the Alliance of Healthcare Unions. At this picket we intend to raise the profile of our issues and communicate with our patients and the public about what is at stake in this fight for the future of healthcare.

Join us at Kaiser Westside Medical Center on February 19th, and we will have three options for picket shifts you can sign up for.
