Picket Line for Justice
MarcParc, which operates several parking garages in Washington, is "Where Customer Care is First," according to its website. But MarcParc workers -- who earn poverty wages and have no health insurance -- come in last. After six months of struggle at Union Station, MarcParc employees still do not have a fair process to decide on unionization.
On Tuesday, April 8, at 7:30 a.m., the MarcParc garage at the Holiday Inn at Thomas Circle, 1155 14th St. NW, will be picketed by its employees and their supporters. Show your support for the workers by walking the picket line with them. Call the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees (HERE) Local 27 at 202/393-7939, ext. 17, for more information.
