June 24, 2008 Mass. social workers rally Play video

(NECN: Josh McElveen, Newton, MA) - During their lunch breaks Massachusetts state social workers rallied to make a collective request -- not more money, but more help.

These social workers juggle as many as 24 cases at a time, making lack of attention a reality all too true.

The group is asking the state to find money in the 2009 budget for 100 new social workers.
