Discrimination alleged in state highway work in Middlesex County
Town officials allege that about 1000 workers are assigned to state highway projects from Greater Boston and Suffolk County, transported by buses and contractor trucks from Cambridge and nearby towns. Workers start near 9 a.m. and return home in the afternoon, spending up to four hours traveling and four on the job for an eight hour day. The system is criticized as unbusinesslike and monopolized by transportation firms, contrasting with regular public works in other towns.
