Biz Journal Features Williams

Metro Council President Jos Williams talked about top local labor issues in last Friday's Washington Business Journal. Headlined "Big Labor's local guy," Williams discussed school reform -- "Opponents of the unions want to blame workers for all the ills of our schools" -- DC construction jobs -- "the city has not invested in compelling employers to hire D.C. residents at the apprenticeship levels at the front end" -- union membership trends - "Government has allowed employers to literally hold employees hostage and have not allowed workers their right to really determine their own destiny in the workplace" -- and the writer's strike, telling the Journal, "Writers are workers."
