You Need Representation, The Time Is Now. The Need For Change Is Long Overdue.

You care so much about your patients, coworkers, and clients that you continue to provide the best care, dedication, and commitment you can muster each day, regardless of the disappointment and careless actions concerning policy, pay, and the balance between your career and life. It’s exhausting. I know this firsthand from working as a technician for the last 15 years. VCA (and their corporate owner MARS), doesn’t see it this way. They know your effort will not change regardless of how disappointed or frustrated you become with the lack of support. Corporate charts and graphs in their boardroom meetings illuminate this truth – the job gets done right, no matter how far they depress your pay, reduce your benefits, or fail to respect your work-life balance.

Let’s be clear: your commitment to your patients and your team is being exploited. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you continued to do what you do best – the work of caring that brought you into this profession – while having the strength and representation of a trusted ally to help handle the frustrations and support you in your fight for fair and equal pay? YES! In partnership with the IAM, the National Veterinary Professionals Union (NVPU) will help YOU develop a consistent work environment that you can rely on. We can provide your team with a voice in workplace policy and the ability to negotiate for wages that reflect your commitment, experience, skill, and dedication. You focus on caring for your patients and let our experience and strength take care of the rest.

You need representation. The time is now, and the need for change is long overdue.
