AFT Vermont Locals in Action!

The Brattleboro Federation of Nurses is excited to announce that their tentative agreement has been overwhelmingly ratified, with 99% voting YES! This victory is the result of the strength, solidarity, and determination of every nurse at BMH.

Together, they secured an agreement that protects what matters most, including:

  • No cuts to differentials
  • No expansion of floating (status quo maintained)
  • Hospital contributions to retirement 
  • Benefits remain protected
  • Protects union rights while affirming the value workers bring to their hospital and community

They are holding the line on the standards they’ve fought for and ensuring that Brattleboro Memorial Hospital remains a place where nurses can build lasting careers and deliver the high-quality care their community deserves.
