Almost two years ago to the day, the Transportation Committee voted along party lines to endorse legislation that would allow undocumented immigrants in Massachusetts to access driver s licenses.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Workers from McDonald s restaurants at two Interstate 95 rest stops held a one-day strike Thursday to protest what they contend are attempts to stop them from unionizing and to demand hazard pay for working during the pandemic.
The small group of workers, from restaurants on I-95 in Darien and Branford, rallied at the state Capitol with members of Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union, which is helping their efforts to unionize.
Franklin Soults, a union spokesperson, said workers at the restaurants who support the union have had their hours cut and been harassed by supervisors.
