State judiciary workers have ratified a new contract that provides 2.5 percent wage increases in each year of a two-year pact.

The judiciary unit of the Vermont State Employees Association represents about 200 state employees, the union said in a news release.

“I am so proud of our Judiciary Unit members statewide for the solidarity they provided our bargaining team throughout the negotiating process,” said Beth Aiken a VSEA bargaining team member and Family Court Case Manager in Barre.

The contract also improves dental benefits, tuition reimbursement rates and contributions to the workers’ Employee Development Fund, according to the news release.
