As nurses and technical professionals at UVMMC we have the benefit of working under a union contract. We support our imaging technologist colleagues in their efforts to organize a union. We all deserve the right to negotiate as equals with our administration over workplace safety, improved patient care, wages, benefits and working conditions.

We call on the UVMMC administration to remain neutral regarding the Radiology technologists' campaign to join us as members of the Vermont Federation of Health Professionals and to extend the terms of the Technical Professional contract immediately to the Imaging Technologists.

Fear and intimidation have no place at UVMMC. Management must refrain from attempting to influence technologists, and it is unacceptable to divert healthcare dollars into an anti-union campaign.
