State Is No Show For Today’s Bargaining, Disrespecting AOT Workers Who Were Attending
Snubbed By State Negotiators, AOT Members Deliver Bargaining Issues Directly To Shumlin Administration
Left sitting at the bargaining table with no one on the other side, a contingent of VSEA AOT members took matters into their own hands today and marched down to the Pavilion Building to deliver their bargaining issues to the Administration personally. Accepting the workers’ list of issues was Shumlin representative Michael Clausen. After giving their issues to the Administration, the band of AOT workers marched to DHR to deliver their issues to that office as well.

In No Time At All, Majority Of Vets’ Home Nurses Sign Petition Against Proposed Schedule–And It Pays Dividends
VSEA nursing staff at the Vets’ Home recently wasted no time drafting and presenting a petition to management to express their collective rejection of a proposed schedule they contend violates their collective bargaining agreement. The petition reminds VVH that the nurses recently worked hard to create a schedule they believe works for everyone and it asks VVH management to work with them to amend their proposed schedule where needed and then adopt and implement it.
