Members of the VSEA Election, Rules and Nominating (ERN) Committee officially certified a recent vote by members of the union’s Executive Branch Units (Corrections, Non-Management, and Supervisory) to ratify tentative contract agreements with the state of Vermont. The new two-year agreements are effective July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2024.
The new agreements now await funding by state lawmakers.
VSEA recently said goodbye to the union’s current Clerk, whose departure created an immediate need to fill the position. If you are elected, your term would begin at the completion of the election and run through September 2023.
Here is a position description
February 15 – February 18, 2022
