As part of a national week of action to hold the American Water Company accountable for “steep employee cuts and consumer rate hikes,” area union members and community allies will rally outside the nation’s largest for-profit water utility this morning in Alexandria, Virginia. “Despite doling out lucrative pay packages to top executives, American Water is also trying to impose abrupt rate hikes on consumers across the nation,” say organizers, which include the Utility Workers Union of America, the AFL-CIO and SEIU Local 32BJ. “From coast to coast, working people are standing together on behalf of consumers to demand that shared sacrifice begin at the top and to stop the nationwide assault on workers and consumers by American Water.” Demonstrators will meet at the King Street Metro station at 10:45A; click here for details.
