UVM nurses' union negotiator quits talks

A key figure in the University of Vermont Medical Center nurses’ union has resigned from the negotiating process, citing a disagreement about whether a compromise may have been reached in the months-long labor dispute. Julie MacMillan, a registered nurse who had been serving as the union’s lead negotiator, posted a message Friday on her Facebook page saying she wanted more input from union members after the latest round of negotiations with the hospital on Aug. 18.
