VTDigger Reports On Docket Clerk Low Pay & Contract Negotiations

July 5, 2016  11:55 am

From story (there’s more where this came from)…

"James Crucitti, the presiding court judge at Chittenden Superior Court, says the salaries for personnel in the clerk’s office are ‘unfairly low.’ The judiciary can continue its embarrassing pattern of suppressing pay for its lowest paid employees and run the risk of degrading the Judiciary’s service to Vermont or it can recognize the very difficult responsibilities of these positions and pay a fair wage."
