Nurses, Technical Professionals, LNAs, Unit Secretaries and Patient Care Professionals are inviting you to this community forum about the staffing crisis at UVM Medical Center and the administration's refusal to recognize the decision of the majority of LNAs (and others) to organize their union.

"We are organizing our union of LNA's, Unit Secretaries and patient care professionals for Respect. Too often we are understaffed which means we are overworked and the quality of the care we can give suffers. UVM Medical can do better, and it will if we are part of making the decisions. Also, if we earned livable wages not only would we feel more valued but it would be easier to recruit and retain quality staff. Join us in asking the UVM Medical Center to quit blocking our democratic decision to form a union."
