Sparks are already flying in the Massachusetts race for U.S. Senate — and that’s just between the two front-runners.

Now, Local 888 is co-sponsoring an SEIU candidates forum, where members can learn all about the issues and grill the U.S. Senate rivals. The event is set for 10 a.m., Sat., Oct. 26.

“We need labor-friendly advocates in the Senate who are willing to fight for our issues,” said Local 888 Secretary-Treasurer Tom McKeever. “Members should come to hear from the candidates — and ask them tough questions, too.”

The forum will feature a round-robin setup. That means SEIU members — and the four candidates — will be split up into four separate rooms, allowing for more informal conversations.

The candidates in the 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary: U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy, attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan and Steve Pemberton, a human resources executive.
