Yesterday, the legislature’s "Workers’ Caucus" (a group of pro-worker, pro-union lawmakers) sent a letter to Senate Economic Development Committee Chair Michael Sirotkin, voicing their collective opposition to the confirmation of Karen O’Neill to a VLRB "neutral" seat.
Your calls are needed again today, this time to members of the Vermont Senate Economic Development Committee, urging each to vote "no" on the confirmation of Karen O’Neill as a "neutral" to the Vermont Labor Relations Board.

The Committee’s vote will be a recommendation to the full Senate, which will subsequently vote "yay" or "nay" on the O’Neill confirmation.
Contact your Senator(s) today with the simple message:
"Please vote "no" to Karen O’Neill’s confirmation as a neutral to the Vermont Labor Relations Board."

A new proposal at the State House would take all of the State of Vermont’s mental health beds for the sickest Vermonters and put them under the control of the UVM Health Network, creating a gaping hole in the State’s mental health system.
Your fellow VSEA members at the Psychiatric Care Hospital have the best outcomes in the State when it comes to treating these patients. Why on earth would we remove any beds from our overburdened mental health system?
That’s why we need you to take 60 seconds to call (802) 828-2228 and leave your legislators a message asking them to: “Protect Vermont’s most vulnerable patients— Preserve 16 Level I beds at the Vermont Psychiatric Care Hospital.”
You can use this easy link to find your legislators’ names. This small step is so important for all Vermonters. Please call now! Thank you for your help!
