VSEA is aware that the Freedom Foundation–a well-funded, corporate, anti-union group from outside Vermont–is once again sending emails and letters to VSEA members to promote the group’s anti-union, anti-worker agenda. Each time this group tries to peddle its propaganda here in Vermont, VSEA reminds members that there are so many good reasons for VSEA members to ignore this group’s email and letter.
Here are some resources for members to revisit:
VSEA members should have received an email recently, informing you that it is once again open enrollment time for VSEA members who are not currently enrolled in your union’s very popular Northeast Delta Dental Supplemental Program. The VSEA supplemental program is designed to enhance your current State-provided dental insurance benefit.
This enrollment period is also when members already in the program can amend their number of dependents also using the program, if this number has changed in the past year.
The deadline to enroll in the supplemental dental plan, or amend your current plan, is Friday, May 14, 2021.
If you are currently enrolled in the plan but are not making any changes, you do not have to do anything.

VSEA President Aimee Towne posted the following on April 30 to VSEA’s Pension Facebook page:
“[On April 30], the Senate Government Operations Committee voted to support a balanced pension task force of 6-6 labor/non-labor representation.”
Thank you for making all those calls and contacts with legislators!
Recently, the Vermont House voted to stack the task force 9-6 with non-labor representation.
