We mourn the loss of Senator Ed Kennedy, a dedicated lawmaker, public servant, and leader. Sen. Kennedy was an incredible advocate for the people of Lowell. Our hearts go out to Senator Kennedy’s family and staff.

Are you a delegate at the Mass Dems Convention? We need your help! We’re fighting to amend the Party’s platform to recognize our right to unionize, but we need 500 signatures before 10:00 on Saturday. If we can count on you to sign, stop by the IBEW 2222 table tomorrow!

Once again, the House enacted a policy that directly affects our workplace, without staff input. This creates real challenges for already overworked staff, who will need to take on additional responsibilities with no adjustment to pay.

Reminder: As the House of Representatives votes on the FY26 budget, staffers are working ridiculous hours – and without any overtime pay. A union can help with that.

On Tuesday, the House passed a new set of rules changing how they handle reports of workplace discrimination and sexual harassment – and how we, as staff, would report them. We believe these changes set us back. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/26/m...
