Dozens of union volunteers conducted
Labor-to-Labor walks out of four locations.
Volunteers in Tri-County met at 7:30
AM and
walked from Waldorf. Volunteers
also walked from UFCW MCGEO in Gaithersburg,
IBEW Local 26 in Prince George's
and OPEIU Local 2 in Silver Spring. "We will
continue be using these four
sites every Saturday until
the election on June
24th to
get our members involved,” said Jos
Williams, President of the Metro Council.
“We’re asking unions and their
members to give us just three hours for the
next two Saturdays to help get the
word out about candidates who will protect our
jobs and benefits.” Added
Williams, “The labor-endorsed candidates on
the ‘Bread and Butter Ballot’ will
fight for all working families in the state
house and the county council."
Early voting starts on June
12th and
ends on June
19th.
