In advance of Public Service Recognition Week 2024 (May 5 – May 12), VSEA’s Communications Department is inviting members to submit the names of colleagues who are deserving of special recognition for always going above and beyond to provide quality service to the Vermonters they serve. We’ll be choosing some of your nominations to feature during PSRW 2024.
Let the Communications Department know who you want to nominate for special recognition and tell us a little bit about why you are submitting their name for consideration.
Thanks in advance for your nominations. The nominating period will conclude at the end of March 2024.
The VSEA State’s Attorneys’ Offices Unit Bargaining Team has reached a tentative agreement with the State of Vermont Department of State’s Attorneys and Sheriffs on a successor two-year contract that would become effective on July 1, 2024. The Bargaining Team will be scheduling informational meetings to review the settlement and answer members’ questions.
All agreements reached during contract negotiations are tentative pending approval by the unit membership through ratification voting. The dates for voting on the new contract have not been set.
The VSEA Awards/Scholarships Committee is currently soliciting applications from students seeking financial assistance in the pursuit of post-secondary educational goals.
The Committee will announce the recipients of the scholarships in June.
The state’s latest health care reform efforts, once again, do not appear to address the most urgent problems Vermonters now face – access and affordability. Rather, they represent a doubling down on the failed approaches of the past eight years.
It is critical that legislators block these efforts until clear descriptions and measurable goals are provided on how this proposed initiative will solve the very real and worsening problems we are experiencing.
