VSEA is very pleased to welcome six State Transport Deputies employed by the Chittenden County Sheriff’s Department to the VSEA family. The deputies recently sought and won VSEA representation through voluntary recognition from their employer, Sheriff Kevin McLaughlin.
VSEA is congratulating its members belonging to the Vermont State Housing Authority (VSHA) Unit for recently voting electronically and overwhelmingly to ratify a new, three-year agreement with the Housing Authority.
The new agreement translates an average 14.5 percent wage increase per employee over the term of the contract. The agreement also contains a host of benefit enhancements.
