Fair Labor Multi-Lingual Outreach
Starting July 14, the AGO will launch a multi-lingual public service campaign educating employees in Massachusetts about their rights in the workplace. As part of this campaign, the AGO has launched a new website, www.MassWorkRights.com, which provides information in six languages: English, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
To spread the word about this new site, radio advertisements will run from July 14 to August 17, educating listeners about their rights and encouraging them to visit www.MassWorkRights.com. The radio ads have been produced in English, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish, and will run on 18 foreign-language and major market radio stations throughout the Commonwealth. Additionally, print advertisements – produced in English, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Chinese - will run in 25 foreign-language newspapers across the Commonwealth.
