Because of her, many, many thousands of people, in Vermont and
across the country, live measurably better lives. Kim Lawson led the effort to successfully organize workers at
workplaces in Vermont, including U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services, Counseling Services of Addison County, Champlain Valley
Office of Economic Opportunity, NHVAC, Berlin Health and Rehabilitation
Center, Hunger Mountain Co-op, City Market Co-op, Northeast Kingdom
Community Action, and the University of Vermont; and in New Hampshire,
Grafton County New Hampshire Nursing Home and Public Employees, and the
National Visa Center; and in New York, Adirondack Community Action
Program. At a time when the wages and living standards of most people
were under attack, Kim helped people organize collectively for a better
life. Kim was also a founder of the Vermont Workers Center and for years
staffed the Workers Rights Hotline which, free of charge, has helped
many thousands of workers learn and protect their rights under the law.
