MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Workers and managers from Vermont's IBM plant are bringing a fight about health care to the Vermont Statehouse.
IBM Corp. government affairs Director John O'Kane has been warning about the dangers of a bill aimed at putting the state on a path toward single-payer health care. He says if it ends up imposing costs on business, it could make Vermont's IBM plant less competitive.
But on Thursday, workers from IBM came to the Statehouse to say they like what Gov. Peter Shumlin and the Legislature are doing on health care reform.
