St. Michael's Custodians Vote to Unionize in College's First-Ever Labor Victory
Source: Seven Days

On the same day that University of Vermont staffers voted overwhelmingly against unionization, a small group of custodians at St. Michael’s College made labor history.

For the first time in the Catholic college’s 108-year history, a group of its employees opted last week to form a union. Custodians decided 18 to 17 in favor of organizing as an affiliate of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
