Worker Center Coalition Testifies at Statehouse on "An Act to Protect Injured Workers"

Representatives from MWC-Casa, Brockton Worker's Alliance, & Brazilian Women's Group prepare to testify before the Committee members present in the hearing room.

Wednesday, June 18th Casa and others in our Injured Workers' Coalition attended the legislative hearing before the Joint Committee for Labor and Workforce Development regarding 'An Act to Protect Injured Workers' H.2151/S.1310.
 

Casa spoke to worker stories on a panel with other worker centers including the Brazilian Women's Group, Brockton Worker's Alliance, and MassCOSH. Key allied professionals including attorneys in employment and Worker's Compensation specialties testified alongside representatives from MIRA. 

We continue to look to allies for reaching out to their elected officials regarding the bill, particularly those with legislators who may be unfamiliar with it. We are hopeful the Committee gives a favorable report on the bill.
