“Most of [the workers] live in poverty, and much of their income goes to housing costs or rent”—Karen Chen, CPA Executive Director in @dailyfreepress article.
The factory’s closing date has moved up to TODAY. Help us call on @eastwestmfg to pay workers severance!!!!
“They’re treating these workers like garbage, throwing them out on the street completely” — @EdforBoston in today’s @GBHNews article.
The factory will be closing FRIDAY 6/14, a week earlier than prev planned. And workers are STILL without severance.

“Without a job, I felt like everything all of a sudden was crashing down on me,” said Xue Ming Ma, a soon to be laid off employee.

Extremely disappointing when workers are treated like garbage & disregard as if they are worthless. I’m requesting @CityOfBoston and @BostonPlans, owner of the building where this company rents office space, to conduct a review of this situation & take legal action, if necessary. – at Boston, MA

The GBLC stands with East West workers in their MODEST demands for severance pay & references during layoffs. These workers manufactured safety equipment during the pandemic and deserve respect. Tell East West to meet employees' demands! @cpajustice @massaflcio @MetroBTC
On Monday, more than fifty community members, labor groups, and elected officials joined us to rally outside the factory in Seaport. A small delegation returned today to speak with management, and all we were told was "it's up to Corporate"

Honored to stand w/laid off workers from East West Company & their modest request for severance pay & references during this transition. These workers manufactured safety equipment during the pandemic and earned our respect.Thank you organized labor for supporting these workers! – at Convention Center - South Boston Waterfront, Boston
After risking their lives to manufacture lifesaving medical supplies, workers' demands are ignored by multinational company @eastwestmfg. They ask for just 1 WEEK of severance pay/year of service before the factory closes. Join us, the @BOSCityCouncil & 20 orgs to stand w/workers
Thank you for your support! @GBLCBoston @MassCOSH @MetroBTC @massaflcio @BostonLegalAid @MassJwJ @BostonWorkers @BrocktonWA @APALAnational @BOSImmigrants @homesforallmass @massCLU @EdforBoston @ClrHenrySantana @ErinforBoston
