Overview

The Vermont Labor Relations Board invites qualified individuals to apply for a current “neutral” seat vacancy on the Board. A “neutral” is someone not aligned exclusively with union or management and is able to be impartial in performing the work of the Vermont Labor Relations Board.

The Vermont Labor Relations Board conducts hearings and adjudicates grievances involving relations between employers and employees of the State of Vermont, Vermont State Colleges, and the University of Vermont. The Board also determines appropriate bargaining units, conducts union representation elections, and adjudicates unfair labor practice charges involving these employers and municipalities, school districts, and small private operations.

Successful applicants will serve a term of six years, and attend required hearings held in Montpelier, as well as assist in special projects as directed by the Labor Board Chair or Executive Director. The position requires Members assigned to cases to review filings in preparation for hearings, attend hearings that may last one to three days, review post-hearing briefs, deliberate with fellow panel members to reach decisions, and review and revise decision drafts prepared by the Executive Director. Board members may also attend elections at employment sites.

Labor Relations Board appointments are made by the Governor. For more details on the role and responsibilities of the Vermont Labor Relations Board, review Vermont statutes, 3 V.S.A.

  • 921, et seq., or visit the Labor Relations Board website at this site.
