Notes From the Field
Serena Zeise helped out on last week's HERE action at Georgetown Park. Here is her account of the event:
"Last Thursday evening, union and non-union parking workers came together for a huge picket line in front of the Colonial Parking Garage in Georgetown as part of HERE Local 27's ongoing fight for living wages, affordable health care and dignity on the job for all DC-area parking workers. Picketers holding bright yellow signs circled in front of the garage, chanting in English, Spanish and Amharic, while leafletters educated passersby on their way to happy hour.
