Vermont Workers' Center statement in support of VSEA Member and Whistleblower John Howe
The Vermont Workers’ Center calls on the State of Vermont to stop its retaliatory investigation of VSEA member John Howe. Whistleblowers who speak out for the public good must be encouraged, not harassed.
This statement is issued in response to recent news reports that some lawmakers are "considering alternatives" to implementing the universal healthcare law in Vermont.

ACTION ALERT: Tell VT Legislature to stay on track toward universal healthcare
By passing S.252 last Friday, the Vermont Senate has taken steps which could chip away at our universal healthcare law, Act 48, while the president of the Senate questioned whether we’ll even make it to Green Mountain Care.
Vermont law requires our new public healthcare system, Green Mountain Care (GMC), to be equitably financed, with sufficient funds to meet population health needs, and to provide comprehensive care to all.
What would S.252 do? Update on the Senate’s attempt to water down Act 48, our universal healthcare law
