Town Meeting TV staff members Travis Washington and Bobby Lussier engage with students at the UVM Union of Students' Communityfest event. While there, they got an Update about the UVM Staff Union's current collective bargaining situation. 

From the Organizer:

With the beginning of a new school year, the UVM Union of Students is planning to bring back Communityfest, our annual event for community groups to engage directly with new students. The goal of Communityfest is to create a space where student groups, community organizations, artists, and others can talk to students about what they do and build connections. We hope to connect new Burlington residents in particular to causes they care about.

The date is October 6th from 12:00PM to 4:00PM at 406 Pearl St. This is an outdoor event, and there will be live music and food.
