Demonstrate for Workers' Rights
Colonial Parking is a big, non-union company that runs about 25 percent of the parking industry in the DC area. Because it's so large, Colonial Parking sets the standards for the rest of the parking industry, and that includes workers' wages and health insurance costs. Colonial is the Wal-Mart of the parking industry in DC. Join HERE Local 27: Parking and Service Workers Union for a HUGE demonstration in support of parking workers who are fighting for:
* Affordable Health Care * A Living Wage * Respect on the Job
Turn up the heat on parking companies in DC on Thursday, March 24, from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m., at the Colonial Garage (1666 K St. NW; entrance on 17th Street, facing Farragut Square). For more information, call Monica at 202/545-1789, ext. 18, or send her an e-mail.
