Who We Are
Since 1974, WMLA has been building a free and voluntary unincorporated private membership association comprised of seasonal workers, service workers and other low-income part-time and temp workers, regardless of current employment status. WMLA is 100% volunteer and non-government funded.
What We Do
WMLA has:
+ Signed tens of thousands of members throughout Berkshire County.
+ Built a members-helping-members 11 Point Benefit Program which includes emergency food, clothing, legal advice, non-emergency dental care, information and referral and more.
+ Seasonal distributions from Back to School supplies to holiday food baskets.
+ Trained hundreds of volunteers in a unique method of building grassroots organization.
+ Published an independent, membership newspaper to tell the truth about the struggles of low-income workers in Western Mass.
Concerned residents, students, professionals, small businesses and clergy work together with WMLA members to fight for permanent solutions to the problems involving low-income workers in Western Massachusetts in general and Berkshire County in particular.
WMLA builds strong organization as the vehicle for workers to direct and ensure the implementation of such solutions.
