Pro Labor Alliance Solidarity license plate
Finally, the Pro Labor Alliance is working with the MA RMV in marketing a Collective Bargaining / Solidarity license plate. The plates are available to anyone who supports labor and solidarity. Just so you know, the local is signing up for two plates and we are spreading the word so our membership and beyond can also order plates. The CB license plates will be approved by the RMV if a minimum of 1500 plates are "reserved." Please add their link to our website at www.prolaboralliance.org.
