Last month ICE raided a New Bedford garment factory and seized 350 immigrant workers and destroyed hard working families. Labor needs to stand up for the rights of all workers as we face a changing workforce in Massachusetts. We need to work within our unions to educate our members on the immigration issue and to build partnerships with immigrant communities.

Come hear Professor Jim Green and national and local labor leaders along with immigrant workers fighting for their rights on the job.  We will discuss the history of labor and immigration and how we can build for the future and prevent more New Bedfords from happening in our state.
