| Collective Bargaining - Union Membership |
The State Employees Labor Relations Act (3 VSA §902, et seq.) provides the basis for collective bargaining between the State and its employees. Labor contracts are negotiated between the State and the Vermont State Employees’ Association, Inc. (VSEA). The VSEA represents and is the certified bargaining agent for members of the Non-Management, Supervisory, Corrections and State Police Bargaining Units. Membership in the VSEA is open to all employees who wish to join, except where expressly excluded by statute or by order of the Vermont Labor Relations Board.
Agency Fee
Most employees hired into a classified bargaining unit position are covered by the Agency Fee provisions of the collective bargaining agreements This fee is paid through an automatic payroll deduction from eligible employees who are not members of the VSEA. The fee is used to defray the costs incurred by the VSEA in fulfilling its duty to represent all bargaining unit employees. The fee of $8.84 each pay period represents 80% of the amount payable as VSEA membership dues. The fee begins to be deducted with the employee’s second pay check. Your department human resource office and/or the VSEA can provide you with more written information on this subject. VSEA can be reached by clicking on the above banner or by calling (802) 223-5247. You can locate your human resource office at: Human Resources Staff
