The Privatization Threats Keep Coming But You Just Keep Producing Top-Flight Results For Some Very Important Vermonters.
In the face of repeated discussions under the Golden Dome about privatizing the Vermont Veterans’ Home, the workers continue to ignore the noise from Montpelier to focus on their priority, which is to provide the best care possible to Vermont veterans. Their solidarity and ability to drown out the naysayers has led to the workers receiving two prestigious distinctions this week. They are:
