Tell Your Legislator THANK YOU for Supporting a Livable Wage!
Our bill, H.223, An act relative to a livable wage for human services workers, was favorably reported by the Joint Committee for Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities to the House Ways and Means Committee. The Senate version of the bill has already been sent to Senate Ways and Means after its favorable reporting.
This is a big step towards achieving a livable wage for community-based human services workers in Massachusetts!
