Activists Poised To Expose American Water Company's Greed
Monday, June 6, 2011(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Fed up with steep rate hikes, immense cuts to employee benefits and
“big executive pay days” at the American Water Company, workers and
community allies will rally against the United States’ largest for-profit
water utility in Alexandria, Virginia this Thursday to demand accountability.
The action is part of a national effort to “fight back against demands by
American Water to impose substantial takeaways in contract negotiations and
threaten the job security of workers under local agreements,” reports the
AFL-CIO, which is co-sponsoring the action with the Utility Workers Union of
America and SEIU Local 32BJ. Click
