Nurses March as UVM Health Cuts Jobs | Burlington News
Description
Hundreds of nurses and staff hit the streets in protest over looming layoffs at UVM Health, which plans to cut 140 jobs to close a $300 million financial gap over three years. While the hospital says most cuts will be administrative, frontline workers report devastating impacts — one clinic slashed from six to three staff, handling thousands of patients. Protesters demand fair contracts and safe staffing levels, fearing more job losses and eroding patient care. UVM insists cuts are data-driven and necessary for sustainability, pledging continued negotiations while emphasizing their commitment to quality care. Unions vow to keep pushing for community accountability.
