Labor Photo: CWA Day of Action Takes on Downtown DC

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)“Hey Verizon! You can’t hide! We can see your greedy side!” protesters chanted across Downtown DC yesterday, closing out CWA’s National Day of Action with a march from the Verizon Lobby Building to the Verizon Center. Members from unions and community groups including LiUNA, UAW, DC Jobs with Justice, and students from local universities turned out to make their solidarity heard. “This is not just a one-time rally in the nation’s capital” said Jos Williams, President of the Metro Washington Council, to the crowd. “We’re telling them – we’re not going to quit!” - report/photo by Julia Kann
