“Most of [the workers] live in poverty, and much of their income goes to housing costs or rent”—Karen Chen, CPA Executive Director in @dailyfreepress article.

The factory’s closing date has moved up to TODAY. Help us call on @eastwestmfg to pay workers severance!!!!

“They’re treating these workers like garbage, throwing them out on the street completely” — @EdforBoston in today’s @GBHNews article.

The factory will be closing FRIDAY 6/14, a week earlier than prev planned. And workers are STILL without severance.

“Without a job, I felt like everything all of a sudden was crashing down on me,” said Xue Ming Ma, a soon to be laid off employee.

Extremely disappointing when workers are treated like garbage & disregard as if they are worthless. I’m requesting @CityOfBoston and @BostonPlans, owner of the building where this company rents office space, to conduct a review of this situation & take legal action, if necessary.

The GBLC stands with East West workers in their MODEST demands for severance pay & references during layoffs. These workers manufactured safety equipment during the pandemic and deserve respect. Tell East West to meet employees' demands! @cpajustice @massaflcio @MetroBTC

On Monday, more than fifty community members, labor groups, and elected officials joined us to rally outside the factory in Seaport. A small delegation returned today to speak with management, and all we were told was "it's up to Corporate"

After risking their lives to manufacture lifesaving medical supplies, workers' demands are ignored by multinational company @eastwestmfg. They ask for just 1 WEEK of severance pay/year of service before the factory closes. Join us, the @BOSCityCouncil & 20 orgs to stand w/workers
