Over the past several years, Brattleboro
has had its share of setbacks. We broadcast live from the new Brattleboro Food Co-Op to get
an update on how the town has been dealing with the recent challenges.
Employees at the Brattleboro
Food Coop will vote Wednesday on whether to form a union. 140 of the coop’s 160 workers are eligible to say yes or no to
joining Local 1459 of the United Food and Commercial Workers.
The "Brattleboro
Food Co-op" and the "Windham Housing Trust" hope to construct a new downtown
building that will house the co-op
and affordable apartments. This
month, the project was given $875,000 in state and federal money.
