Local 23 at the (Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)This afternoon Unite Here’s newly-formed Local 23 will hold its very first rally as they gear up for over 15 cafeteria-worker contracts in the coming months. “We want to set the tone that we are going to be very public” Staff Director Emilio Abate told Union City. The rally will be held in front of the Department of Energy, where members working in the cafeteria will be among the first to negotiate. Local 23 is embracing the Valentine’s Day theme, says Abate, as they send a message to management that “our members are the heart of food service work in DC.” - photo of Unite Here food service worker strike courtesy of Unite Here
