MONTPELIER, Vt.— The Vermont State Employees’ Association (VSEA), a union representing almost 6,000 state employees across Vermont, announced its endorsements today for the upcoming primary election.
“These are an outstanding group of committed, pro-state employee candidates whom we feel we can rely on to stand with us when the going gets tough,” said Aimee Bertrand Towne, VSEA’s president. VSEA’s member-driven endorsement process involves multiple stages of review of each candidate’s elective and legislative history, and of each candidate’s responses to a questionnaire crafted by VSEA members. This round of the union’s endorsements only considered candidates with contested primaries; all other candidates will be considered for endorsement during VSEA’s general election endorsement process later this year.
VSEA has produced a webpage and flyer that explains how the Task Force’s pension legislation impacts state employees. Please share this information with your colleagues who may not have seen it.

There has not been much justice at all for temps since this story appeared in a 1993 VSEA VOICE,but the fight to reclassify hundreds of misclassified State of Vermont employees is being renewed today by a working group of current temps. VSEA members are encouraged to pass the group’s contact information on to temps where you work. Contact info is SVTEAlliance@gmail.com.
