Fighting for Middle-Class Vermonters
This Saturday, members of the Vermont State Employees’ Association will be joined by working Vermonters from across our state to send a strong, united message to Montpelier that it is time for a new approach to solving Vermont’s perpetual budget deficits.
We will be letting our governor and lawmakers know that the days of relying on hard-working, largely middle-class state employees to continue to rescue Vermont from fiscal crises not of our making are over. So, too, are the days of asking a growing (not shrinking) number of Vermonters in need to make do with pared-down services and a reduced number of frontline employees.

Congratulations DCF 3SquaresVT Workers! What A Turnaround!
VSEA sent huge congratulations this week to state employees working for DCF’s 3SquaresVT food program. In a March 25 memo to DCF ESD workers, Deputy Commissioner Sean Brown said he recently learned that Vermont was named the most improved state in the nation for FY2014 in terms of lowering its processing error rate. The Program’s error rate dropped from 9.81% in FY2013 to just 2.58% in FY2014. As a result, Vermont expects to receive a monetary “bonus” this year for its efforts, as opposed to being penalized over the past few years.
