This Holiday Season, VSEA Members Are Urged To Contribute A Few Hours To Help A Fellow State Employee In Need
Important Message from NMU Sick Leave Bank Committee:
"First, we would like to thank everyone who has donated to the NMU Sick Leave Bank!
Unfortunately, the bank is now out of hours. We are hoping that we can get some much-needed time added before this donation period closes on December 31. The hours donated now will be all that’s available until our next donation period, which begins April 1, 2017.
Your donation of “personal” and/or “annual” leave makes a difference in the lives of fellow State employees faced with catastrophic illnesses or injuries.
We traditionally get more requests for help during the rugged winter months than at any other time of year. If you are able to donate anything, even as little as 1 hour of time, it will make a difference.

VSEA’s Elections, Rules and Nominating Committee was at headquarters December 14 to tally Judiciary members’ votes cast for and against a new, two-year agreement with the Court Administrator. VSEA is pleased to report that Judiciary members voted unanimously to approve the new agreement.
The vote officially ends nearly a year of contentious bargaining that culminated soon after the delivery of a fact-finder’s report that supported a majority of the VSEA members’ proposals.
In addition to receiving the same wage increase as all other VSEA Bargaining Unit members, certain Judiciary Unit job classifications (i.e. Docket Clerks) will now be eligible for a fair wage review and major reforms will be made to the Judiciary’s reclassification process.
VSEA congratulates the entire Judiciary Unit Bargaining Unit for staying strong and prevailing in the end!
