Friday, April 19, 2013
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Activists from the Paid Sick Days for All Coalition and the Working Families
Party picketed Monday’s DC City Council At-Large candidate forum at the Black
Cat. Over two dozen activists rallied for an increase in DC’s minimum wage and
paid sick days legislation that includes restaurant workers. “These are issues
that DC voters overwhelmingly support,” says organizer Monica Kamen, who hopes
that all the candidates for the April 23 DC Special Election are paying
attention to these actions.
