📬 💌Save Vermont's postal service! Please come to a hearing tomorrow (3/12) at 6PM (Hampton Inn, 42 Lower Mountain View Drive, Colchester) to share your concerns about the postmaster general's plans to reroute our mail to CT, which would cause delays. (1/3)

[1 of 2] We, alongside 12 other unions, sent a letter to VT lawmakers calling for passage of a strong paid family and medical leave program: vtpaidleave.org/s/VT-Unions-…
Our message was clear: No one should have to choose between their paycheck and their health or families...

A paid leave program will raise standards for all workers - union members and not. Thank you, @vtpaidleave, for advocating with us on this critical labor issue. Let’s organize!

1. If reductions are necessary, start with the upper level, non-student-facing positions.
2. The Legislature needs to adequately support VTSU in the long term.
3. Make college affordable for our Vermont students.
4. Institute legislative oversight.
