Dropkicks to headline Longwood labor rally
Not that traffic doesn't already come to a standstill late afternoons in the Longwood Medical Area, but on Thursday a labor rally orchestrated by the union seeking to organize Boston hospital workers will feature a real showstopper.
The Dropkick Murphys, the Boston band made almost mainstream by Red Sox fans, will play a few tunes before a 4 p.m. rally at the corner of Avenue Louis Pasteur and Longwood Avenue, the heart of a neighborhood that includes hospitals, clinics, colleges, and Harvard Medical School.
The Service Employees International Union 1199 said members of the Area Trades Council will also be on hand to lend support to the rally, which will be followed by a march.
