Operation A.B.L.E.'s role has expanded over the years to include advocacy for mature workers in the public sector.  We work continually with state officials to promote workforce development initiatives that focus specifically on this population.  To date, we have been able to get $500,000 earmarked for older worker retraining in Massachusetts' FY04 economic stimulus package and $1 million in the FY07 economic stimulus package.
