Bring the state's Temporary Agencies out of the shadows
The Problem: as the part-time economy grows, some temp agencies are cheating workers and the state by pocketing millions of dollars in taxes, unemployment insurance, and workers' comp. Current state laws don't effectively regulate the temp industry.
The Solution: The REAL Law (for Reform Employment Agency Legislation).
When: Thursday, June 9th @ 10:30 am
Where: MA State House, Room A-1
Help us pack the room and send a strong message -- Massachusetts, stand up for the rights of temp workers! The hearing will be before the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development, Chaired by Rep. Coakley Rivera and Sen. Wolf. The REAL coalition will have a panel of speakers testifying (including workers, community and labor leaders) and is encouraging supporters to submit as many written testimonials as possible. For more information on legislation or how to support upcoming hearing, please see attached fact sheet (English and
Spanish) or contact Marcy Goldstein-Gelb, Executive Director,
