Minimizing Wages & Worker Health
How the “Other NRA” Continues to Stymie Critical Progress in Massachusetts
Minimizing Wages & Worker Health takes a critical look at how the Massachusetts Restuarant Association (MRA), the Massachusetts affiliate of the power National Restuarant Association (NRA), has undermined workers’ rights and public health in the lead-up to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This white paper examines the lobbying efforts in the state of Massachusetts, where progress on worker pay, paid sick leave, and workplace safety has been stymied by the NRA’s state affiliate at the behest of leading NRA members such as Darden Restaurants, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, and more.
