Solidarity
Attend a panel discussion by local labor activists who will address the strike at Sterling Laundry and other labor struggles in the DC area – and find out what you can do to get involved.
The Sterling workers have been on strike for more than three months for the most basic of rights – the right to form a union. Teachers in Prince George's County are on a work-to-rule campaign to fight for a fair contract, and DC teachers turned out in big numbers this fall to fight to keep a raise they had already been promised.
The event is Saturday, Dec. 13, at 3 p.m., in the chapel at Plymouth Congregational Church (5301 N. Capitol St. NE; Fort Totten Metro). Call 202/667-0049 for more information.
