Solidarity from Burlington, VT! #windham hospital @AFTCT healthcare workers are on strike today after 11 months of negotiations. Time for a Fair Contract Now, @HartfordHealthC!
@AFTunion
“Students, staff and faculty are on the same side and listen to the same lies from the @uvmvermont administration. We know this university has the resources to ensure healthcare benefits, retirement benefits and livable wages. Lets keep up the pressure!” #vtpoli@UAunion
“I’ve participated in 4 cycles of bargaining here at UVM. The administration repeatedly makes pledges for our job security, then treats them as purely rhetorical. We’re in a battle for the soul of this university.” #vtpoli@UAunion
“My full-time colleagues and I are doing the exact same work as PT faculty, but why is UVM administration refusing to extend the same rights to them and treating them in a shameful and disrespectful manner?” #vtpoli@UAunion
Our rally to deliver our petition to the administration is today at 12pm on the steps by Howe Library. Please join us in solidarity!

"When I toured at UVM, I was in awe of the support for staff. After I learned the details, I was heartbroken to realize that there's not that much support." -Nicole Bonanno (student)
