What were the key outcomes of the recently concluded strike by healthcare workers in Oregon, and what is their immediate significance?

After six weeks, a major strike involving 8 bargaining units of nurses and other healthcare workers at eight Providence Oregon hospitals has ended. The new contracts include significant wage increases (20-42% over the contract life, with an immediate 16-22% raise), and improved patient acuity factored into staffing plans. This resolution impacts patient care and healthcare worker retention in Oregon.
