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.

The Labor Outreach Committee:
The Labor Outreach Committee is a subcommittee of the Democratic State Committee, and is comprised of DSC members who are labor leaders, union members, or committed to the Labor Movement.   Any union member is welcome to attend a L.O.C. event, whether a member of the D.S.C. or not.  Click here to see the Labor Outreach Committee's official members and their contact information.
