St. Charles Bend medical tech workers’ strike in 4th day; no sign of quick end
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – A strike by about 150 medical techs against St. Charles Health System entered its fourth day Sunday with no outward signs of resolution ahead of a scheduled Wednesday session with a federal mediator.
The Oregon Federation of Nursing and Health Professionals disputed on Saturday St. Charles’ claim that the Bend hospital was functioning normally. It said the hospital has refused to negotiate before the midweek session and that patient care was “suffering.” That simply is not true, St. Charles Public Information Officer Lisa Goodman told NewsChannel 21 Saturday, pointing to the hospital s Friday statement that patient care is proceeding as normal, with the use of replacement workers.

A quarter-century has passed since Oregon voters said yes to a law that would profoundly reshape how the state treats its most violent offenders.
Measure 11 created a class of crimes that in the eyes of voters deserved longer prison sentences and ensured people convicted of those offenses served every day of their terms.
Today, offenders prosecuted under the landmark law make up about 47% of the 12,586 people in Oregon’s prisons, according to the state.

Oregon U.S. Attorney Billy Williams will resign his post effective Feb. 28.
Williams, the top federal law enforcement officer in Oregon, took over as U.S. attorney in May 2015, during the Obama administration. He was later appointed to the seat by former President Donald Trump.
“On an all-U.S. Attorney call this morning, Acting Attorney General (Robert “Monty”) Wilkinson instructed most presidentially-appointed U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Attorney Williams included, to submit resignations effective February 28, 2021,” Oregon’s U.S. Attorney’s office said in a statement Tuesday. “Our office is taking all necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition and will provide more information soon.”
