Hundreds of union members and their supporters rallied in Boston in solidarity with 1,250 National Grid gas workers who have been locked out of their jobs for nearly six months. The lockout began after the union rejected a contract offer that would have increased workers’ health care costs and eliminated the existing pension plan. The workers are represented by USW Local 12012.
