The English Works Campaign is a unique coalition of immigrant community leaders, labor unions, business and civic leaders, educators, and advocates across Massachusetts working toward a Commonwealth that provides all residents with a pathway to economic self-sufficiency; ensures a stable, skilled workforce for businesses; and integrates immigrants into the fabric of our economy, communities and shared civic life.
I wrote this piece in 2013 to highlight a family owned supermarket chain in Lynn, MA, and participation in offering ESOL classes for their employees as part of the English Works Campaign mission to “create a sustainable, high-quality ESOL system that addresses the needs and interests of immigrant workers and their employers.”
