Wednesday, May 29, 2013

IBT 730 Organizing in (Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Almost seventy working foremen at DC Water are “stuck in no man’s land” says Teamsters Local 730 President Ritchie Brooks. Brooks says that’s because the bosses are calling them “management,” even though they’re hourly employees. Local 730 has filed with PERB for their organizing drive to bring union representation to these workers. Though DC Water has hired Littler-Mendelson Law Firm to fight the organizing, Brooks remains optimistic. “I knew they were going to fight us” says Brooks. “But that’s what we do best.” - photo: DC Water workers fixing a sinkhole in Downtown DC; photo courtesy DC Water
