Para-Professionals, Clerical Staff To "Rally For Justice"

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Members and staff of AFSCME Local 2921 – which represents Para-professionals and clerical staff at DCPS, Head Start, OPEFM and OSSE – will rally at 10A this Friday outside DCPS headquarters to protest being “targeted and run over by management and their lawyers.” AFSCME Local 2921 President Michael Flood told Union City that workers have been the target of attacks by management that have led to tenured workers being “RIF’ed, excessed, fired and reclassified out of union jobs.” He added, “AFSCME Local 2921 is faced with the paramount task of fighting for the rights and dignity of our members who have been targeted and fired along with DCPS teachers. We have lost several hundred members in the past two years and we need the labor community’s help this Friday to make the public aware of the serious problem that we are facing.” Click here for details. - Essie Ablavsky, AFL-CIO Union Summer Intern
