There is still no deal in place between the state of Vermont and its employees union and that could make for a tough day on Friday.
Hundreds of state employees could be laid off on Friday since there is no agreement between the state and its employees union. The Rutland Herald reports that last week, the Vermont State Employees Association proposed furloughs and unpaid holidays to make up a more than $7.4 million dollar deficit. And on Monday, the Governor's administration agreed to the cuts, if the union agreed to cuts next year and the year after that. The union countered, saying it will only negotiate contracts for each year separately.
