VSEA is applauding the efforts of Game Warden Dana Joyal, and we are very happy he is okay.

Another example of the great work being done every single day across Vermont by game wardens, AOT workers, DCF social workers, public health nurses, water treatment and testing workers, meat and dairy testing workers, corrections officers and all DOC employees…the list goes on and on.

Please support Dana Joyal and thousands of additional Vermont state employees in their fight to negotiate a fair contract with the Shumlin Administration.

VSEA Member Prevails At VLRB

February 23, 2016  11:21 am

VSEA learned today that the Vermont Labor Relations Board (VLRB) ruled to overturn an employee’s termination, saying the State violated the collective bargaining agreement by delaying any action on the employee’s discipline for almost a year. The VLRB adds that the State’s delay is evidence that the discipline imposed was initially too harsh.

VSEA General Counsel Tim Belcher says this case was especially egregious because the employee did not even learn s/he was being investigated–nor was s/he put on temporary relief of duty–until unexpectedly receiving a Loudermill letter. Belcher also applauded and thanked past VSEA Associate General Counsel Justin St. James for his work on the case, prior to leaving VSEA.

Great job VSEA Legal Team!
