Working Massachusetts:
A Voice for Public Employees and Public Service

Working Massachusetts is a coalition of labor organizations representing thousands of public service workers across Massachusetts. The goal is to educate the public about the positive impact public sector workers have on the daily lives of all the Commonwealth's residents and to improve public opinion of our members.

Presently made up of 17 public sector labor groups and growing every month, Working Massachusetts seeks to educate the public, the legislature, and other elected officials about the important role that public services and the workers who provide them play in all our lives. The people Working Massachusetts represents work in a wide variety of jobs -- health care, public safety, state and municipal government, education, and more -- and they all contribute immensely to our communities. Working Massachusetts wants to ensure that the public understands these contributions, values the people who make them, and supports public policy that helps our members keep delivering the services that improve life for all of us.
