Labor Events Spring Forth

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Spring must be here, because local labor activity is bursting out all over! Tomorrow you can hear from DC workers organizing to change their workplace and learn how you can aid their struggles at the Low-Wage Workers Speak Out! And on Monday, Tell the Heritage Foundation to Stop Blocking an Increase in the Minimum Wage as AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Tefere Gebre leads a protest outside the Heritage Foundation to highlight efforts to restrict the minimum wage and strip workers’ rights. Later on Monday, Georgetown's Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor, Barbara Ehrenreich and Justin Rorres kick off Living in a Precarious World: Art, Labor & the New Economic Precarity. See Labor Calendar for complete details on these and other upcoming local labor events.
