On the 11th day of Christmas, Time to Organize

Don Bosco Workers celebrate, highlight businesses that took the 'Good Workplace' pledge

In the United States, the 12 days of Christmas are a period of feasting, merrymaking and gift-giving, when it is traditional to express one’s love for family and community. The people of Don Bosco Workers in Port Chester are marking the season by highlighting one or two local business on each of the 12 days between Christmas Day and Three Kings Day on January 6. It’s our way of expressing appreciation to those companies that have signed our Good Workplace pledge to pay all workers fairly and to support our campaign to end wage theft.

Today is the first working day of the new year and time to get out and take care of business. If you’ve got yard work or a home improvement project, stop by MPR Outdoor Power Equipment at 164 North Main Street. And while you’re out and about town, check out the new year deals at or local Sprint Store, also on North Main at number 170B. Thanks to these Good Workplaces for supporting the anti-wage theft campaign of Don Bosco Workers.

Remember, wage theft hurts workers AND businesses. #NoPayNoWay. For more information visit www.donboscoworkers.org
