Labor and the Massachusetts Democratic Party

Labor and the Massachusetts Democratic Party have the common goal of making sure candidates that support working families are elected to all levels of public office, and to make sure the agenda of organized labor is a high priority in the platform of the Democratic Party.

COPE Political Roundtable

Join fellow politically active members of the Massachusetts Labor Movement in a discussion on the present and future of labor's political program in the Commonwealth. The Political Education Roundtable is held once a month on the third Thursday of the month from October - November and January - June at the Massachusetts Archives Building in Boston.
  • The next COPE Political Roundtable will be on Thursday February 18th at 1:30pm.  This month’s Political Roundtable will serve as a Candidate Forum for those seeking the Middlesex, Suffolk and Essex Senate seat vacated by Anthony Galluccio. The Primary Election for this seat is on April 13th and there are several Democrats seeking the nomination. As the Labor Movement is increasingly finding itself at odds with many of the Democrats it has helped elect, this will be an opportunity for union members to ask these candidates the tough and important questions on labor’s issues and about what each candidate will and will not do if elected State Senator.
