On February 19, 2014 the Boston Global Forum (BGF) launched an initiative to recognize the companies, brands, and retailers who are leading the way in worker safety and rights through the use of best practices. The event featured notable contributions from Governor Michael Dukakis, Chairman and co-founder of BGF; Arnold Zack, a renowned mediator, arbitrator and lecturer at Harvard Law School’s Labor and Worklife Program; Hedrick Smith, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former reporter and editor of the New York Times; and Marcy Goldstein-Gelb, the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health (MassCOSH). BGF would like to thank the participants for their enlightening comments and guidance. We greatly appreciate their knowledge, ideas, energy, and enthusiasm.
Going forward, BGF will collaborate with MassCOSH in order to develop a list of Best Practice Companies on worker safety and rights. Additionally, BGF welcomes your input and recommendations on the companies, brands, and retailers who are using best practices in worker safety and rights. Ultimately, with your input and continued support, BGF will announce a list of Best Practice Companies on Worker Safety and Rights on April 28, 2014, which is Worker Memorial Day in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
As always, thank you for your continued support!
