The VSEA Elections, Rules, and Nominating Committee has certified that the VSEA members of the State’s Attorneys’ Offices Bargaining Unit have ratified their tentative agreement on a new, two-year contract that will become effective on July 1, 2024. SAO Unit members made their choice clear as 100% of those casting a ballot voted to approve the settlement negotiated by their bargaining team.
The SAO Unit contact becomes the sixth collective bargaining agreement negotiated by the VSEA since last fall. Members in the Non-Management, Corrections, Supervisory, Defender General, and Judiciary units also approved their respective contract settlements in 2024.
VSEA thanks the State’s Attorneys’ Offices Unit bargaining team for their work to reach a contract settlement that has the overwhelming approval of its members.
