VSEA Executive Branch Units Overwhelmingly Ratify New, Two-Year Contracts!


Members of the VSEA Election, Rules and Nominating (ERN) Committee were at VSEA headquarters on Monday, November 25 to certify the tentative-agreement vote count and announce that members of the union’s Non-Management, Corrections and Supervisory Units have all overwhelmingly ratified a new, two-year contract.

"We’re happy the contract was passed–and by a large margin," said VSEA President Dave Bellini, himself a Corrections employee. "I want to thank the rank-and-file VSEA bargaining team members who negotiated the agreements for all your hard work and time."

Did You Know Vermont Ranks Last In The Nation For State College Funding?

Although Vermont is among the top five in the United States for K-12 education funding, Vermont is ranked 50th for state college funding.* VSEA members are standing strong in support of the Vermont State College staff and are demanding a solution to the many years of chronic underfunding.

To demonstrate how much our state colleges mean to Vermonters, VSEA is urging members, retirees, and the public to sign the union’s online petition, which calls on state officials and lawmakers to immediately increaseVSC funding.
