Information Specialists at the US Department of Transportation/ Federal Aviation
Administration - is the latest Metro Washington Council affiliate. "We're very
happy to become a part of the Metro Council," said Local 2703 President Ron
Carberry. "Particularly, we see a great benefit to our members in having access

ability to help workers who are struggling financially." The local has
