On behalf of the Executive Board of the Boston Carmen’s Union and all the members of Local 589, I want to congratulate U.S. Cong. Stephen Lynch and State Rep. Nick Collins on running great races.

Unfortunately, both came up a little short in today’s election.

On the bright side, they will still be fighting for us in the U.S. House of Representatives and Mass. State House respectively.  They are tireless advocates for the rights of workers to collectively bargain and the dreams of working families for a better life.

Although we are sad they did not win their races today, we could not be prouder of the effort they put into their races because their fight is our fight.  Moving forward, we look forward to working with them and supporting them in all their future endeavors.

Lastly, I would like to thank all Local 589 members who volunteered their time to help either candidate and for voting in today’s election.

In solidarity,

John Lee, President
Boston Carmen’s Union
