Labor Quiz: Washington Monument
Monday, May 20, 2013
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Which of the following unions placed a commemorative stone in the Washington
Monument shortly after construction began in 1848? Click here and you could be
next week's winner of a labor music CD!
Last Week's Quiz: The answer
is None of the Above. There are no criminal penalties levied against an employer
for firing a pro-union worker during an organizing campaign. An employer is,
however, required to offer reinstatement to an illegally fired worker, with back
pay—after deducting any pay he may have earned from another employer in the
interim. Congrats to Ann Hoffman of the NWU in Washington, D.C., this week's
quiz (and labor music CD) winner!
