Shameful Business

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

The "shameful" actions of corporate America will come under fire today with two separate events in the metro area. Hotel workers from the Sheraton Crystal City will rally at 4:30P to protest the company's union-busting tactics during the workers' attempts to unionize, and are calling for an outright boycott of their own hotel. Afterwards, Professor James A. Gross will speak on his new book A Shameful Business: The Case For Human Rights In The American Workplace at the National Labor College in Silver Spring at 7P. "For those seeking to bring the issue of human rights into the debate over labor law reform, this is a critically important book," say event organizers. Call 301-431-6400 for more information and to RSVP. Click here for the complete lineup of labor events on the Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO's website.
