State, union reach tentative two-year contract deal
The Scott administration and the Vermont State Employees’ Association have reached a tentative deal on a two-year contract covering the lion’s share of executive branch employees.
The three bargaining units included in the contract are the supervisory, corrections, and non-management units, which involve basically all rank-and-file state employees as well as their managers. In total, it covers about 6,000 employees.
Details of the agreement will not be made public until employees vote to accept the deal. If ratified, the contract would begin July 1, 2020.
Doug Gibson, the communications director for the union, said the VSEA had not yet set a date for the ratification vote, but would soon be scheduling information sessions to answer employee questions about the proposed contract.
