Rally to Support Parking Workers' Rights
The cost of parking in DC continues to rise, but the workers who staff our region's parking garages don't benefit from the increased revenue. Rather than share the profits with their workers, parking companies would prefer to pass on the rising cost of health insurance. Workers at Colonial Parking must pay $55 a month for individual health insurance, although they earn only $7 or $8 an hour. Meanwhile, workers at union parking companies have affordable health insurance that costs up to $5 a month. On your way to work or school on Friday, Feb. 6, stand up for parking workers' rights at an 8 a.m. rally at the Colonial Garage at 19th and G Streets NW.
