OFNHP protests elimination of perio-hygienist classification
Several dozen people rallied outside Kaiser Permanente’s
headquarters in the Lloyd District Nov. 13 to protest the
health care company’s unilateral decision to eliminate the
classification of periodontal hygienists. Periodontal hygienists
do specialized work in conjunction with periodontists to pro-
vide treatment of advanced gum disease.
Seventeen periodontal hygienists — in a bargaining unit of
130-plus general hygienists — are members of the Oregon
Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals Local 5017.
The union filed a grievance earlier this year claiming the
action violated their collective bargaining agreement. The dis-

F ORUM
To The Editor:
The Northwest Oregon Labor Coun-
cil and the Oregon AFL-CIO oppose a
proposed ballot initiative to create a Wa-
ter District in Portland as an independ-
ent agency.
This proposed removal of water and
sewer service from the purview of the
elected mayor and City Council is the
first step toward the slippery slope of
privatization of public utility services.
Currently, approximately 800 union
employees of the City of Portland faith-
fully deliver some of the highest quality
water in the United States and provide
reliable sewer service to the residents
and businesses in Portland and sur-
rounding communities. The proposed
ballot initiative will remove all current
City of Portland water and sewer em-
ployees from employment with the City
of Portland and immediately make their
employment with the Water District at-
will, with complete and total loss of
their negotiated labor contract with the
City of Portland.
This proposed ballot measure is also
about control. Control and condemna-
tion of property, control of regulation of
where water or sewer lines run — and

pute is scheduled to go to arbitration later this month.
“In the meantime, Kaiser has continued to proceed along
the path to eliminate the perio-hygienist classification,” said
Local 5017 spokeswoman Temple Lentz.
The union said periodontal hygienists will continue doing
the work, only at a lower pay scale. They say the action places
profits over patient care.
Joining the hygienists at the rally were members of United
Food and Commercial Workers Local 555, Communications
Workers of America Local 7901, Oregon Nurses Association,
Oregon AFL-CIO, and Jobs with Justice.
Decline to sign Water Bureau initiative
the construction contracting and lease
rates for those services, control of rates
for residential vs. corporate users —
corporate users who would likely want
to shift system costs from business to
residential ratepayers. It’s about the
ability to have real citizen oversight
rather than corporate representatives run
a board.
If this measure is on the May 20,
2014 primary election ballot, please
vote “no,” and if you’re asked to sign on
to get this measure on the ballot, please
decline to sign.
