Prince George’s
County taxi drivers were out again in force
picketing the Gaylord National Hotel and Resort
at National Harbor
yesterday. “Cabs that honk in
solidarity w/ Gaylord protest get ticketed,
but not every car,” tweeted TheFightBack.
“Not ticketed: car w/ diplomat plates, food
truck, Metro bus.” Hotel security
reportedly told NBC 4 not to film, and
picketers have also been threatened
with arrest, though cops admit the peaceful
demonstrators are breaking no
laws. The drivers have been fighting for
the right to pick up customers in
front of the Gaylord. - photo by Tami
