Jobs with Justice Annual Dinner!

2009 was a year of change and a hoped for new direction for our country. But corporations went on the attack to keep real change from happening. Jobs With Justice has been on the front lines, fighting corporate greed and taking on the big banks and insurance companies. Here in Massachusetts and across the country working people are beginning to stand up and fight back, demanding a voice on the job and a better life for themselves and their families.    

Please join Jobs with Justice on March 25 as we celebrate the past year of fighting for workers’ rights and look forward to a year of building an economy that works for everyone
