International Workers Memorial Day Is April 28. This year especially, fighting back against a terrible pandemic, thousands of frontline public workers have tragically died while providing critical health services to Americans or while directly monitoring or working with at-risk populations.
VSEA remembers these workers and all before them who made the ultimate sacrifice while doing their job, or as a result of their job.
VSEA members continue to identify workplace safety and health as a primary issue for their union to forcefully address.

Today, with my two small children cuddled on my lap and my two college kids on a FaceTime, we watched as the judge read out the jury’s verdict in the Chauvin Trial.
Charge One: “Guilty.” Charge Two: “Guilty.” Charge Three: “Guilty.”
Collectively, the five of us screamed— not in celebration, but in relief— and cried with each other.
This evening, justice may have been served, but there is still much work to do dismantling systemic racism and bias. Labor unions have historically been at the forefront of those changes and of civil rights movements.
In the days and weeks ahead, I hope you will join me in reflection on the ways in which we can move forward, growing stronger, together, as we continue our work to build a more perfect union.
In Solidarity,
Aimee Towne
VSEA President
