Donations for Carlos Oviedo

Carlos Oviedo, a security guard who has worked at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston for 20 years, was unjustly fired by Museum Management. Carlos was fired for being 2 minutes late to work despite calling ahead to tell Management that his Orange Line train was being taken out of service. He gave Management notice well in advance that this was happening and miraculously arrived just two minutes late, but the MFA fired him after his 20 years of service. Since then, the Museum has prevented him from receiving unemployment even though he has 5 children, 2 of them are toddlers, and he is the main provider for his wife and children. The MFA's punishment of Carlos and his family is shameful. Please donate whatever you can to support Carlos while we continue to fight for his job back.

The funds will be used to cover Carlos Oviedo's upcoming arbitration case with the Museum to get his job back, as well as to provide support for Carlos and his family, while they have no source of income.
