## Resource

Healthcare workers at UVM Medical Center are staging a powerful protest in Burlington, demanding safer staffing and better support after facing crushing workloads and burnout. With signs, red shirts, and chants of “Union Strong,” they’re warning that patient care is at risk without systemic change — especially as UVM Health Network cuts hundreds of jobs amid financial strain. While hospital leadership insists they’re committed to improving conditions through data-driven, cost-saving measures, tensions are rising as staff fear both job losses and compromised care.
