The role of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO is to serve as the unified voice of all organized workers in the Commonwealth and to be a voice for all working people, those in unions and those not yet organized. Our mission is to improve the lives of working families—by working for economic, social and racial justice in the workplace, in our communities, our state and in our nation. Our vision is of a fair and just society that benefits all working people, not a system that’s rigged in favor of the wealthy few.

Take Action
It’s been nearly six months since National Grid locked 1,250 skilled gas workers out of their jobs and cut them off from their health insurance. Now these workers are in serious danger of losing the only source of income keeping their families afloat: Unemployment Insurance. National Grid wants to force families into economic insecurity in order to enhance their bargaining leverage. We can’t let that happen – here’s how you can help: Take a minute to call and email your State Senator and State Representative, and let them know that families are depending on them to extend their Unemployment Insurance benefits throughout the winter by passing H.3133 & S.1028 “An Act to Protect Locked Out Employees.”
Use this form to send an email to your legislators. Feel free to personalize the text. Please take a minute to call as well.
