The 238 Update

On the heels of the lawsuit, I sat down with someone who spent over three decades fighting for the rights of the EPA workers – Joyce Howell. She served as the AFGE 238 vice president and was the architect of the union’s collective bargaining agreement that is now under attack. 

We discuss what happens next, what the scientific integrity provision actually protects, how she maintains her commitment to fighting back and why this movement is so much larger than the just AFGE 238.
