Faced with ongoing short-staffing issues, VSEA members at the Vermont Veterans Home are showing their suppport for one another–and their union–by all wearing VSEA scrubs at the workplace! 

Stewards at the Home are identified as such on their scrubs, allowing employees who may not know their stewards to now easily identify them. Great idea!
