The Voices of UVM Staff

In the hundreds of conversations we have had in the last couple of weeks, one voice in particular has resonated and he was willing to share his statement of support for forming a union of the staff at UVM.

"Enough is enough. I have been on the fence for years on this issue and have been to meetings and heard quite a good amount from all sides and I want to inform you that....I'm in. I'll sign a card. Let me know when and where...tired of being an after-thought with no representation. I had my reasons before but in the face of these rapid changes and potential ones I am very concerned with the state of our sovereignty as a working class here at UVM."

MORE ABOUT VSEA 

What Is the Vermont State Employees' Association?

 

The Vermont State Employees' Association is an independent union of over 5,100 Vermont workers that

have joined together to have a voice in the decisions that affect our jobs.

 

In addition to the clerical and technical staff at the Vermont State Colleges, our union consists of state employees. 

 

At the core of the union's program is the work that members and staff do together to bargain contracts with management and ensure that these agreements are upheld in each of our workplaces. 

 

VSEA has a team of professional staff to support members in enforcing

the contracts, training workplace stewards, carrying out direct action on key issues, lobbying, communications and legal support.
