Related Company: Vermont Business Magazine Imaging Technologists at Vermont’s largest Hospital, the University of Vermont Medical Center, voted overwhelmingly to join the Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals-AFT-Vermont. The final vote count was 123-32 in favor of unionizing. The 230 technologists include sonographers, cardiac technicians, interventional radiologists, and technologists working within CT Scan, MRI, Diagnostic Xray, Nuclear Medicine, and Mammography. This group joins the other 2,400 nurses and technicians currently members of the VFNHP-AFT Vermont, the largest and fastest-growing healthcare union in the state. The technologists began their drive for representation on the heels of the cyberattack and in response to the pandemic. “This has been the worst year that we have ever experienced,” said Alida Aiello, a technologist with 10 years invested into UVMMC, “but we have been asking for years for changes to be made that would improve our work. We have largely been ignored, and problems have only gotten worse.”
