The Student-Labor Connection

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Student activists from all over DC came together at George Washington University last Thursday night for a back-to-school Meet-and-Greet organized by the Student Labor Action Project of DC Jobs with Justice.  More than 20 students activists were present, representing groups from George Washington University, American University, Georgetown, and Johns Hopkins that support campus workers, as well as promote fair trade and DC voting rights. The student leaders were joined by representives from SEIU Local 500, SEIU District 82, and UNITE HERE, as well as by organizers from United Students Against Sweatshops and the Living Wage Action Coalition.
