Massachusetts Jobs with Justice celebrated the past year of fighting for
workers' rights by honoring: Boston Hotel Workers Rising! for
their historic victory for low wage workers; Verizon Business Workers
in their struggle to demand a voice at work; Quincy Teachers
in their fight to protect the right to strike and defend their health
care and the Fair Wage Campaign for their effort to protect
immigrant workers from predatory employers.
The John O'Connor Youth Activism Award was given to SLAM and the
Harvard Hunger Strikers for their solidarity with organizing by campus
security guards.
The dinner also paid a special tribute to Father Ed Boyle,
a founding Workers' Rights Board member, and a long time friend to Jobs with
Justice.
