Group Forms Educators For Better Business Teachers and other educators across the state of Massachusetts announced today the formation of Educators for Better Business (EBB). This group of advocates is disheartened by the lack of quality products and services coming out of the Commonwealth's businesses. Twenty percent of businesses in the state fail each year, sending employees scrambling for new job or unemployment and sending customers away without help. EBB hopes to be able to work with legislators and business leaders to turn around this failing institution. The group first plans on gathering hard data on the failings of businesses across the state from surveys of costumers and businesses' own reports to stockholders and to state and federal officials. EBB will then work with the state legislature to legislate changes in how businesses operate, from purchasing to hiring practices, from manufacturing processes to marketing, from salaries and benefits to product development. "We are very excited about being to help our businesses move into the 21st Century," said EBB co-founder Steve Mather. "We expect to help businesses compete in marketplace, hire our highly-qualified high school and college graduates, and service our communities better," he added. These educators seem to know more than one would think about running a business. "We know how to run a business - we shop all the time, our family members shop and our students shop," said EBB co-founder Phil Beatrice. Your use of Yahoo!
