Stand Up for Offsite Construction Work

The Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (DLS) is deciding whether workers constructing offsite, modular housing units for Somerville’s Clarendon Hill project are entitled to prevailing wages—the fair wages required on public construction projects.

Submit your letter now to protect fair wages across Massachusetts.

This decision matters far beyond one development. If DLS denies prevailing wage protections here, it opens the door to wage suppression, outsourcing, and exploitation across the state, especially in publicly funded construction.

We must act now and urge DLS Commissioner Sean Cronin to ensure that all workers on public projects receive equal protections, no matter where they work.

Submit your letter before the Friday, July 11 deadline, and make your voice heard.
