Not All Heroes Wear Capes
Although this will not be the last time we thank the members of our Health Technical and Legal Committees, we wanted to take this opportunity to publicly honor their efforts aiding MassCOSH and workers during this devastating pandemic.
Our Health Technical and Legal Committees have played an essential role in helping MassCOSH develop progressive workplace legislation, create headline-making reports regarding worker wellbeing, and so much more. Their selfless efforts to advocate the values you care so deeply about has never been more needed these past few months.
We could not have served workers’ interest during the pandemic as effectively as we have been at the Statehouse, at workplaces, in the media, and in our ability to synthesize government data without the following individuals. We are deeply grateful to each and every one of the individuals below; MassCOSH would not be a fraction of the organization we are today without them.
