On the campus of the College of Fine Arts in Montpelier, VSEA’s team of negotiators and the State’s team began making formal presentations to a fact finder. The VSEA Teams are presenting the bargaining proposals they agreed to pursue in this inaugural round of negotiations with the Scott Administration (which is sadly progressing exactly like the last round with the Shumlin Administration, which ended up at the VLRB).
After today’s fact-finding session, the Teams can either agree to meet again on Monday, December 18, for more discussion, or not.
Best wishes to the Teams today in their pursuit of fairness.

Considering the weather and road conditions yesterday (which VSEA AOT members got ahead of quickly–as always), there was a large turnout for yesterday’s VSEA Council Meeting at the Old Labor Hall in Barre. Council members enthusiastically wanted to participate in a group photo, wearing green, to remind all VSEA members about Friday’s "Wear Green Day" to support your VSEA Bargaining Teams.
Your Unit Teams are headed to fact-finding on Friday, December 15; the final step before once again heading to the VLRB.

Two years ago, the State forced VSEA members belonging to our union’s Non-Management, Corrections and Supervisory Units–at great taxpayer expense, mind you–to go all the way to the Vermont Labor Relations Board (VLRB) for a final contract determination, which was thankfully in the employees’ favor. Now, two years later, the same three Units are facing a similar, stubborn negotiating game plan by the State, and it’s time now for every VSEA member to help your Teams!
Your Unit Teams are headed to fact-finding on Friday, December 15; the final step before once again heading to the VLRB.
On Friday, December 15, you can support your Teams in worksites across Vermont by wearing something green. It’s that simple. VSEA would also love it if you would snap a few group photos of VSEA members wearing green and send them to headquarters. Photos of VSEA members holding messages for the State and its negotiators are also very welcome. Photos will be posted to VSEA.org as well as VSEA social media pages.
