The two Democrats vying for the US Senate seat in Massachusetts struck similar chords Saturday as they addressed almost 500 union members at a candidate forum in Dorchester, their first side-by-side campaign appearance.
Representatives Stephen F. Lynch and Edward J. Markey are jockeying for an endorsement from the Service Employees International Union, which organized the event. Over the course of about 90 minutes, the candidates outlined their thoughts on immigration, education, and health care — and acknowledged that there is a lot they agree on.

Are union members so sheepish as to go along with whatever their leaders tell them to do?
Um...that's the point of the idea of a "union"--in unity is strength. I wish we had more unions; a rising tide lifts all boats.
I sure hope they decide on Markey. Lynch is just Scott Brown without the truck.
No -we vote and then we recommend - and then hopefully we all will work togheter for a common cause -
