The University of Vermont’s faculty union filed an unfair labor practice complaint with the Vermont Labor Relations Board on Tuesday, alleging that the university’s administration is improperly increasing faculty members’ workloads. #vted vtdigger.org/2023/05/16/uvm…

Eleanor Miller, president of @UAunion, and co-presidents of @uvmstaffunited Rachel Wallace-Brodeur and Ellen Kaye call out the anti-union tactics of the @uvmvermont administration under President Suresh Garimella. Read the full article in the @TimesArgus. #1u #vtpoli #vermont

I heard some of my professors complaining about the transition in the past few weeks. Very happy to see @UAunion coming together to fight back!

“@uvmstaffunited stands with part-time faculty in your fight for a fair contract. When we fight, we win!” #vtpoli @UAunion

“Students, staff and faculty are on the same side and listen to the same lies from the @uvmvermont administration. We know this university has the resources to ensure healthcare benefits, retirement benefits and livable wages. Lets keep up the pressure!” #vtpoli @UAunion

“I’ve participated in 4 cycles of bargaining here at UVM. The administration repeatedly makes pledges for our job security, then treats them as purely rhetorical. We’re in a battle for the soul of this university.” #vtpoli @UAunion

“My full-time colleagues and I are doing the exact same work as PT faculty, but why is UVM administration refusing to extend the same rights to them and treating them in a shameful and disrespectful manner?” #vtpoli @UAunion

Our rally to deliver our petition to the administration is today at 12pm on the steps by Howe Library. Please join us in solidarity! #faircontractnow @aaup @AftVermont

Join us for our rally tomorrow at noon!

"When I toured at UVM, I was in awe of the support for staff. After I learned the details, I was heartbroken to realize that there's not that much support." -Nicole Bonanno (student) actionnetwork.org/letters/liveab… #faircontractnow @aaup @AFTHigherEd

Thursday- Rally to support Part-Time faculty at #UVM, calling on the UVM administration to settle a fair contract NOW after 9 months of negotiations *Library steps, 10/20, 12pm*
