Last week, your union, VSEA, won a major fight to advance our Anti-Privatization Bill, S. 96. The bill passed out of the Senate Government Operations Committee after strong testimony from VSEA members Leona Watt and Jon Kennedy.
We’ve seen more and more State work outsourced to private contractors. S. 96 would close the loophole that could put YOUR JOB at risk of being taken over by poorly paid private workers, and protects your pay and benefits. Now the bill heads to the Appropriations Committee and from there to the Senate Floor. Soon, your VSEA staff may be reaching out to ask you to call your senator and tell them to vote to pass the bill.
