So, um, how does that help all the minorities they didn't hire?

Politician Answer: We can use that money to invest in our communities!

Real Answer: It doesn't!

It'll help Worcester cover its own legal fees from its string of court losses!

>Under the settlement agreement, Gilbane/Hunt will pay the state $1.9 million, with the attorney general’s office returning $500,000 of that to the City of Worcester to promote more diverse participation in government contracting.

FWIW, anyway.

Does this mean I'll finally get paid for the "Los Wepas de Worcester" name I came up with for them??

So, nothing.

That was you? Coincidentally I just saw a Los Wepas de Worcester shirt at goodwill today and looked it up on the spot.

I dunno anything about this program soooo....maybe?

“Promote”. That means a “study” with outside consultants.

Yes, unfortunately. It's a shameful thing I explain to my relatives when they visit the city. Pure exploitation.. but hey, it's the Red Sox Organization, what'd I expect right?

No funny shit I donated most of my wepas gear so strong chance the tee also came from me.. lmao

The company I work for was one of the few that met the minority guildlines it was kinda sad tbh

Maybe it’s time to look past who own a company or who works for a company and just hire the best company.

intelligent comment alert watch out yall

Careful! You might make hurt someone’s feelings.

So was the company supposed to go to their subcontractors and tell them to fire their white male owned partners and hire minority owned? That seems a bit racist to me but what do I know, i don’t think contracts should be awarded based on percentages of races involved in the project

Damn, sorry! I was hoping it had something to do with cumbia wepa 😅
