The Attorney General and the City of Worcester have apparently changed their minds and wage theft, threats and intimidation against immigrant workers is allowable. At Carpenters Local 336 we view all of this as UNACCEPTABLE! Come join us on Thursday as we put people on blast.

Meanwhile in Worcester, immigrant communities' repeated requests for soccer fields goes ignored again and again every year. Worcester maintains 60+public ball diamonds in our parks. You tell me how many soccer fields.

Feels like some folks need a little reminder. Mayor Petty and Councilors King, Toomey, Ojeda, Bilotta and Rosen all signed Worcester's 2025 Responsible Development Pledge in which they agreed to "work and vote to claw-back part, or possibly all of the TIE tax subsidy to the Menkiti Group"

Once again we're in the situation of a developer asking Worcester taxpayers to approve a major tax-break but they decide they don't need to meet face to face with Worcester taxpayers, they think they can just phone it in. Why does Worcester continue to allow developers to hide behind a veil?
