The December 9 State Pension Task Force meeting is one of its last before the committee finalizes its recommendations to present to lawmakers and State officials. VSEA, the VTNEA, and the Troopers are coordinating to try to get as many members and retirees as possible to the meeting in person to listen to the discussion and to put a strong face on the Vermonters impacted by the Task Force’s recommendations. Concerned VSEA members and retirees in central Vermont are urged to attend this meeting in person.

Vermont State Employees’ Association (VSEA) President Aimee Towne sent a letter today to Governor Scott, expressing VSEA members’ concerns about an acknowledged and alarming increase in the number of COVID cases across Vermont and renewing the union’s call for the Governor to extend the period eligible state employees may telework until the new year. Towne also poses a series of workforce and COVID questions to the Scott Administration in her letter, and she requests a face-to-face meeting.
“In addition to being scared for their own health and their family’s health, a lot of VSEA members who are back at the worksite are not comfortable with the way the Governor’s return to work directive is being managed, or, in some cases, mismanaged,” explains Towne. “As I wrote in my letter, state employees are Vermont’s most valuable resource, and we hope the Governor agrees and will meet with us as soon as possible.”
