VSEA Bargaining Teams Meet On “Cadillac Tax”
Representatives of nearly all the VSEA Bargaining Teams were at the Best Western in Waterbury this morning to meet with each other and representatives of the State and Vermont’s congressional delegation to discuss the ramifications of the ACA’s proposed "cadillac tax." The tax is scheduled to be imposed in 2018 and is estimated to impact 60% of Vermonters who have health care plans deemed to be "too rich with benefits." VSEA members, teachers and other Vermont union members, as well as a large number of Vermonters working in the private sector unfortunately have plans that will qualify for the tax.
