Union members advocated for the issues that they care about to their legislators, including
- Universal Healthcare
- Shared Governance at UVM and VSC
- The right to strike for public higher education workers
- Requiring hospitals to abide by the same open meeting rules that public entities follow
- Taxing the rich (recouping some/all of the Federal tax cuts for the wealthy)
A shout out to everyone who joined us yesterday and helped make the day successful!
Our advocacy doesn’t end with our legislative action day; keep an eye out for future political action opportunities, or reach out to lisa.gerlach@aftvermont.org to learn about ways to exercise the power of our Union in the state house. |
