On this Independence Day, we’re celebrating Massachusetts taking one more step toward housing freedom. Thanks to overwhelming support, @MassGovernor has committed to sign into law a ban on forced brokers fees—ending a practice that unfairly penalized renters across the state. 1/2

But Republic Services has refused to negotiate in good faith. I stand with the workers of Local 25. They are essential workers who deserve contracts that reflect the value of their work. #mapoli #bospoli . 2/2

Standing in solidarity with the 450+ sanitation workers from @Teamsters25 who went on strike early this morning. These workers—who keep our neighborhoods clean—are simply asking for competitive wages, better benefits, and labor protections. 1/2
