CSA Emergency Assistance Fund Drained
Monday, July 11, 2011
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The cupboard is empty. The need for help for area workers is higher than ever
but the Community Services Agency’s Emergency Assistance Fund has been
drained, reports CSA Executive Director Kathleen McKirchy. “No contribution is
too large or too small,” says McKirchy, “but all are tax-deductible!”
Among those in need of help are members of Teamsters Local 639 “who have been
out on strike for over 15 months against Daycon, which refuses to negotiate and
return the strikers to work despite being ordered to do so by the NLRB,”
McKirchy adds. Make checks -- earmarked to the Emergency Assistance Fund --
payable to the Community Services Agency and mail to 888 16th Street NW, Suite
520, DC 20006. “Labor Cares, Labor Shares,” says McKirchy, “Thank
you!”
