Nats Stadium Food Workers & Allies Rally(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Well over 100 Nationals stadium food workers and their supporters rallied last night for a new contract. "We're all in this struggle together," ATU's Anthony Garland told Union City, as a dozen ATU local 689 members joined the food workers cheering speakers -- including Metro Council President Jos Williams, Plymouth Congregational's Rev. Graylan Hagler, Our DC members and others -- who pledged support for the Unite Here 23 members at the Navy Memorial Plaza rally. Negotiations are set to continue next week, local 23's Emilio Abate said. Major issues on the table are training and wages.
