Compensation

You shouldn’t have to choose between following your passion and making a living.

Fair pay and fair benefits ensure the best and brightest can join and stay in our profession–for that’s what our communities deserve.

​Simply put, educators deserve professional pay for professional work — and the members of VT-NEA are the premier advocates fighting to ensure you’re paid what you’re worth. This also means stopping legislative cuts to your benefits such as health insurance and retirement.
