Nurses at Providence's eight Oregon hospitals approved new contracts on Monday after over six weeks of strike, ending what the state nurses union has described as the largest health care strike in state history.

ONA bureaucrats responded to the rebuke by the rank and file during the last vote by doubling down on their efforts to starve nurses into submission.

Nurses who have been on strike for more than 40 days have voted to accept an agreement with Providence Health & Services, the Oregon Nurses Association said.
