CORI Hearing on Health and Human Service Positions
Monday, December 22
9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
100 Cambridge Street, Boston
Conference Room B, Second Floor

The Boston Workers' Alliance (BWA) won a major victory in January 08 by helping to secure an Executive Order on CORI by Governor Patrick.

A central measure of this Order was to revamp the policies that prevented people with CORIs from working in health care and human service positions. This month, the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) has released new and improved regulations for public comment.

The new regulations includes BWA's "ban the box" proposal, which will remove the criminal record question from initial job applicants, and only allows CORI checks for applicants who are otherwise qualified for the job. This policy will impact over 180,000 positions, and affect thousands of agencies across the state.

Join BWA to learn about the proposed regulations, and to testify in support of real CORI reform.
