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.
