Union Also Announces Senate, House and State’s Attorney’s Endorsements
The Vermont State Employees’ Association’s (VSEA) Board of Trustees concluded its 2014 candidate endorsement process this week, after conducting a face-to-face interview with Governor Peter Shumlin on Tuesday morning. VSEA Board members were able to ask Shumlin a host of questions about issues important to the union’s membership, like the state budget, the Vets’ Home, health care, temporary workers and privatization, and they inquired about his plan to strengthen and promote state services moving forward. After the interview concluded, the VSEA Board met to discuss what they had heard and then voted overwhelmingly to endorse Shumlin.
