Holy Crap. We did it. @UVMMedCenter Residents & Fellows voted to unionize 209 (yes votes) to 59 (no votes) today. We will get #OurSeat at the table. Thanks to @cirseiu for having our backs.

The next time someone starts listing all the reasons an idea can't work, ask them to give three reasons
it can.

What? This is huge news!

450 doctors planning to strike for a reasonable workload and time to provide care for their patients.

Advocacy can be incredibly frustrating. I came across this article, which reminded me why it’s so important that someone tries to improve the culture of medicine. https://t.co/0cOCtCDUQZ

I need to be able to look at my children, and my community, and know I did all I could to save our democracy. We start by electing those who believe in democracy, our bodily autonomy, and support free & fair elections.

These candidates need your help in the next 14 days:

Here’s what I’m hearing from business leaders in Vermont, their workers need:

Childcare
Paid family leave
Affordable healthcare
Mental healthcare
Livable wages
HOUSING

This is what my working families agenda is going to be about.

organize!

[Millersville U Nurses Unite @UMillersville]

We have been impacted by the ongoing threat of losing our positions as University employees. It has been emotionally draining to continue working, knowing that the possibility of outsourcing is near. (1/2)

[Millersville U Nurses Unite @UMillersville]

@millersvilleu why are you outsourcing our work? After sixty years of caring for our students and serving as frontline workers during Covid 19, you’ve decided to terminate our employment. That’s union-busting.

Very excited to share a @JAMA_current Viewpoint written with @Riagpal and @jessiege_, reflecting on the professional roles of physicians and how housestaff activism is a critical piece of realizing our responsibility as health advocates #medtwitter #meded

@DrMJoyner @Grant_L_Lin @gabrieldane @VeroniqueRoger1 @archives_Rx @ESilvermanMD @hannahjporter Oh, I agree! Systems are very good at pushing individuals to the point where they actually feel no choice but to organize for basic needs or be broken … in medicine, that has typically been considered unprofessional, a wild form of gaslighting and avoidance of accountability.

[Colin West @ColinWestMDPhD]

@DrMJoyner @Grant_L_Lin @gabrieldane @VeroniqueRoger1 @archives_Rx @ESilvermanMD @hannahjporter Within medicine, haves and have-nots argue over their share of what in truth is a falsely set “pie”. We need much more effective collective action as a profession, but our own special interests and propensity for self-interest are used to keep us divided.

[Grant Lin, MD/PhD @Grant_L_Lin]

@gabrieldane @VeroniqueRoger1 @DrMJoyner @ColinWestMDPhD @archives_Rx @ESilvermanMD @hannahjporter We actually had a parallel viewpoint come out on the same day!

Dr. Hannah Porter, a medical resident and union organizer at UVMMC, voted for Becca! In April, UVMMC residents and fellows voted to unionize. This was due in no small part to Hannah's hard work.

Thank you, Hannah! 🙌🏼 Make sure you have a plan to vote! #vtpoli

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: Medical residents are unionizing at a historic rate in an effort to change our broken health care system.

These doctors – vital to our hospitals – are pressured to work over 80 hours/week and earn less than min. wage.

But while nurses are often unionized, few doctors are.

[Hannah Porter @hannahjporter]

@KaraPepperMD *Listed as providing some of these benefits!

[Hannah Porter @hannahjporter]

@KaraPepperMD Didn’t read through all posts but saw Stanford, UCLA, BMC listed and one thing in common — their residency programs are all unionized now!
