Earlier this week, Support Staff United (SSU) and the Technical Professionals of Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals (VFNHP) introduced their “Common Good” proposals in contract bargaining that would make our hospitals and communities safer for everyone who wants to call Vermont home.
As part of this work, they stood with Migrant Justice and SEIU-CIR, the union that represents resident doctors at UVMMC, at a press conference to call on UVM Medical Center to create greater protections for all employees and patients, and to join the Milk with Dignity program so all milk purchased by the hospital comes from farms where basic human rights are protected.
