Nurses Strike!

Past event
Jul 12, 6 AM to 7 AM, Jul 14, 2018

Hi Centennial friends! I'm one of the hundreds of UVMMC nurses who will (likely) be striking tomorrow, assuming we do not come to an agreement with management tonight. We have not come to this decision lightly, and it pains us that the bargaining sessions have not led to a fair contract agreement. That said, we are ready and prepared to strike tomorrow to show management that we are serious about our demands for safe staffing, as well as fair and competitive compensation for both nurses and our support staff, for whom we are arguing a $15/hour minimum wage. If you would like to read more about our demands and why we are making them, please read this open letter to the community: http://unitednurses.info/sites/default/files/LettertoCommunity.pdf You can also watch this press conference with Senator Bernie Sanders for more information about the strike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX5Iuu8TbhA

We would love to see you come out and support us for any amount of the day that you can spare on Thursday and Friday! That can be in the form of a wave, a honk, standing on the picket line with us, or a high five. Hope to see you there!
