A Thank You to Howard Zinn....

 

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Howard Zinn.  Howard was a long time supporter of Jobs With Justice and was arrested in in 1996 as part of a Jobs With Justice delegation peacefully supporting striking immigrant workers at the Richmark factory in Everett, MA. He also worked closely with Western Mass. Jobs With Justice over the years. His leadership, insight and inspiration will be greatly missed.

What a year! Corporate America has certainly been naughty but they’re still getting lots of presents. Who knew that crashing the economy, laying off millions and forcing people out of their homes could be so lucrative.

Voting has ended. JwJ is proud to announce Hyatt is the winner of the scrooge of the year!
