Survey Time! VSEA Wants Your Input On Child Care

With an unfair labor practice pending against the State for implementing an infants-at-work policy without first bargaining it with your union, VSEA leaders are seeking immediate input from members in the know on issues and concerns with Vermont’s current child-care system, what improvements are needed and what child-care options the State should consider offering, i.e. on-site child-care facilities in state office buildings.  
 
To find out how members feel, a VSEA child-care survey has been created. VSEA leaders are asking any and all members to complete this important survey, so they can be as prepared and educated as possible, if the Labor Board rules for VSEA and we end up at the table, working with the State to craft a thoughtful policy with input from any and all state employees who will benefit.

Thanks in advance!

Woodside Members At State House To Educate Lawmakers About Their Facility And Its Importance To Vermont At-Risk Youth

VSEA members working at the Woodside Youth Facility were at the State House on Thursday to testify to lawmakers about the important service being delivered there and what is needed to improve conditions at their beleaguered worksite. 

Pictured above testifying to members of the Senate Health & Welfare Committee is Alex Hodgetts, a Clinical Services Rehabilitation Coordinator at Woodside. He was joined by colleagues Matt Messier and Chris Hamlin. 

The three points the frontline employees stressed to lawmakers were:

  • Build a facility to accommodate all Vermont youth needing the services we provide. We have too many kids out of state right now;
  • Vermont’s community-based programs can’t handle the load they are being asked to. They are simply not equipped; and
  • Woodside gets great results!

VSEA and its Woodside members continue to lobby for the construction of three new youth facilities in Vermont, one secure and paid for by the State; the other two less secure, making them eligible for Medicaid funding.

DCF is expected to deliver a much-anticipated report to lawmakers on Woodside on April 1.

Barre Chapter President’s Excellent Letter To The Editor On Anti-Union Radio Ads  

In response to an Ethan Allen Institute-sponsored, anti-union radio ad airing across Vermont, VSEA Barre Chapter President Sue LaFleche wrote the following excellent letter to the editor of the Times Argus newspaper:

I have recently heard the anti-union radio ads on WDEV. I am not sure who is paying for them. Could it be the Ethan Allen Institute, or some unknown corporate backer? This is another way the wealthy undermine the efforts of workers. Let’s look back to when there were no unions. Most people probably don’t give the 40-hour work-week a second thought — much less the hard-fought battle that came before it was law, not to mention safety protections or child labor laws. I may not have been around when unions were fighting for workers’ rights initially, but I want to remind others not to go backward.

I am grateful that I have union representation at the bargaining table when the state negotiates its contract with employees, often proposing pay cuts and large increases to our health insurance costs. These ads encourage people to leave their unions. If there are no unions, there are no negotiations. We get what we get, and that’s that. Don’t fool yourself to think that you might be saving money to opt out of the union. They are trying to erode the effectiveness of the unions in Vermont and across the country. It is an attack on the middle class. We have been doing the hard work educating our members about the benefits of membership and subsequently our membership has increased, not decreased as they might have hoped.

Note: The Times Argus also published a great letter this week from Barre Chapter member Sue Viens, blasting the ad, but sorry to report that the paper has yet to post Sue’s letter to its website.

Quote Of
The Week!

 

“During the 2011 negotiations, the State Employee Bargaining Agent Coalition reportedly gave a list of 344 suggestions to Hearst Media, which wrote that most of the suggestions were reducing the number of consultants the state uses.”

Line from a story this week about Connecticut lawmakers considering reimplementing a suggestion box for state employees to identify ‘gross’ waste and be rewarded; a concept the state’s Governor first rolled out in 2011 (without a reward), only to learn that consultants are the issue. The box idea was then killed.

Talking Points:

 

Article Explores Why State Employee Job Openings Nationwide Are Up But Applications Are Down

Governing posted a story this week, which attempts to answer the question of why state employee job openings on are the rise nationally, yet applications are declining.

From the story: 

At a time when the unemployment rate is a low 3.8 percent, the public sector is falling far behind in its desperate search for talented employees.

Even though postings for state government jobs rose 11 percent from 2013 to 2017, the number of applicants for those jobs dropped by 24 percent, according to a study that will be released this afternoon by the National Association of State Chief Administrators (NASCA).

The chief administrative officers (CAOs) who were surveyed blame this workforce dilemma on several issues: 85 percent said states can’t offer salaries that are competitive with the private sector; 55 percent said there’s a negative public perception about working for the government; and a third cited the lack of recruitment tools at their disposal as one of the biggest barriers to hiring.

"If governors, legislators and state chief administrators don’t take action today, if they don’t modernize job descriptions and change employee culture, the ultimate failure will be to the citizens," says Jamie Rodgers, deputy director of NASCA.

Note: Take away employees’ defined benefit pension plan, and watch the numbers plummet even faster!

NH SEA Files ULP For Blocking Organizing Efforts

The publication NH Labor News published a story this week about SEIU Local 1984 "filing an unfair labor practice (ULP) complaint against public transit provider Cooperative Alliance For Seacoast Transportation (COAST) on behalf of an employee who was working to organize co-workers into a union." 

From the story:

The unfair labor practice complaint, which was filed with the state Public Employee Labor Relations Board, alleges that COAST interfered with the election process in violation of the state’s collective bargaining law, then terminated the employee who had been working to unionize. 

That employee, Ellen Read, said that union organizing efforts came in response to what employees viewed as abuse and disrespect on the part of COAST management. 

“My colleagues and I have been facing safety, scheduling and targeting issues for years,” said Ellen Read. “The only way to end this and ensure that it never comes back is to give the workers a voice by forming a union.”

Connecticut Mulls ReimplementingState Employee Suggestion Box 

The blog Yankee Institute posted a piece this week about Connecticut lawmakers considering reimplementing a suggestion box concept for state employees who identify practices that are determined by the state auditors to be a “gross waste of funds." If legislation passes, employees who do so would be rewarded with a lump-sum payment equal to 10 percent of the state’s savings. As the post notes, "that 10 percent could potentially mean big money if a state employee can find those gross wastes of funds." The Auditor’s Office is pushing back on the idea due to staff burden. 

Note: Interesting that when the Governor implemented a suggestion box in 2011, the majority of suggestions coming in from state employees were to reduce the number of consultants the state uses.

GAO Says Half Of Americans Have No Savings For Retirement–And That’s An Improvement

Bloomberg News reports this week on a new Government Accounting Office estimate that half of all Americans have zero savings for retirement. 

From the story:

"Of those 55 and older, 48 percent had nothing put away in a 401(k)-style defined contribution plan or an individual retirement account, according to a GAO estimate for 2016 that was released Tuesday. That’s an improvement from the 52 percent without retirement money in 2013.

Two in five of such households did have access to a traditional pension, also known as a defined benefit plan. However, 29 percent of older Americans had neither a pension nor any assets in a 401(k) or IRA account.

The estimate from the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, is a brief update to a more comprehensive 2015 report on retirement savings in the U.S. Both are based on the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances."

Remembering The Triangle Shirtwaist Tragedy 108 Years Later 

Eight chalk silhouettes cover the sidewalk at the corner of Greene Street and Washington Place. On Monday, union members, activists, city officials and others gathered outside the landmarked site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory to honor the 108th anniversary of the historic blaze that revealed abhorrent working conditions but ultimately strengthened the labor movement.

"Protect Your Pension" Meeting Now
On Video

Prior to the legislative 2019 session kicking off, VSEA Executive Director Steve Howard was conducting an education tour around the state, talking with VSEA members and retirees about an expected attack on your pension, who is behind it and how to help prevent it from happening. 

If you weren’t able to attend a presentation in your area, VSEA is pleased to now share this link to Steve’s December 2018 St. Albans presentation.

This video is for VSEA members only. To view it you must be logged into your VSEA.org user account. If you do not have a VSEA.org account, please sign up for a free account here.

Told You’re Being Investigated? Watch This Video!

It is important that every VSEA member knows his or her rights when it comes to union representation in investigatory meetings. Union representation at these meetings is a cornerstone of the labor movement. Your right to representation—as outlined in your contract and, in some cases, labor law—can be complicated.

Please take a few minutes on a break to watch the video, and know that the information being relayed could very well save your job someday. Remember, as a VSEA member, you are entitled to no-cost representation in investigatory meetings that may lead to discipline. Non-members, however, must now pay a rate of $250 to $350 per-hour for the same level of representation!

Getting Ready To Retire? Retired Already? Join The VSEA Retired Members’ Chapter!

Long-time VSEA activist and leader Terry Lefebvre asked Council members getting ready to retire to join the VSEA Retirees’ Chapter to continue to be an active and engaged union member, even in retirement. Lefebvre also appealed to Council members to talk up the Chapter to co-workers they know who might be preparing to retire. 
 
With a possible fight looming on retirement security, Lefebvre stressed the importance to build the Chapter to be able to mobilize large numbers of past state workers to protect and defend the benefits they bargained to win over decades.

If you already belong to the Retired Members’ Chapter, a big thanks to you.
