Turn 7 Off is a site put up by workers at Channels 7 and 8 and WJLA as they struggle to negotiate with their rightwing broadcaster. They have been working without an agreement since Jan. 31, 2005. The owner, Robert Allbritton, has refused to extend our contract. Unfortunately this employer does not have a good track record in dealing with its workers. The previous contract talks lasted seven years, forcing employees to lose cost-of-living and 401K increases during that time. The loss to employees of ABC7-WJLA/NewsChannel 8 amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
