(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Dozens of labor activists picketed outside the headquarters of the
Carlyle Group in downtown DC Wednesday to protest the company’s abuse of
No-Match Letters and the faulty Social Security database, E-Verify, to target
workers at its subsidiary Dunkin Brands (Carlyle
Group Picketed Today 4/23/08 UC). Protestors chanted “Dunkin Brands, what
do you say? No-Match Letters gotta go away” and “Hey hey, ho ho, E-Verify
has got to go” and handed out flyers to passing tourists and lunch-goers.
Similar pickets were also held Wednesday at Dunkin’ Brands and Carlyle Group
offices in New York, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Los Angeles at Dunkin’
Brands.
