VSEA is sending its deepest condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of 61-year-old Lee Wiktorski, a Master Maintenance Technician at Castleton University who died this week in a tragic ice-fishing accident. Vermont police divers found Wiktorski’s truck in 22-feet of water on Tuesday and his body was recovered on Wednesday. An autopsy was performed on Thursday and, sadly, it was confirmed to be Mr. Wiktorski.
Heartfelt condolences to Lee’s wife Marsha, who is also a VSEA member at Castleton University and the entire Castleton University family.

It is important that every VSEA member knows his or her rights when it comes to union representation in investigatory meetings. Union representation at these meetings is a cornerstone of the labor movement. Your right to representation—as outlined in your contract and, in some cases, labor law—can be complicated. Because of this, VSEA is pleased to share a short video with members, outlining your rights in investigatory meetings!
Please take a few minutes on a break to watch it, and know that the information being relayed could very well save your job someday. Remember, as a VSEA member, you are entitled to no-cost representation in investigatory meetings that may lead to discipline. Non-members, however, must now pay a rate of $250 to $350 per-hour for the same level of representation!

Each spring, the VSEA Awards & Scholarship Committee solicits scholarship applications from VSEA members and their spouses, dependents and domestic partners. The application process is easy, requiring the applicant to write a couple of short essays as well as provide a grade history, employment history, personal references and a few other things.
All applications received before May 8, 2019, will be reviewed by Committee members, who will then decide from among all this year’s eligible candidates who is awarded a 2019 VSEA scholarship.
Winners will be announced at the VSEA Council’s June 2019 meeting.
