The Labor Guide to Elected Officials lists all current elected officials in the Metro Council’s jurisdiction. “This guide is a helpful tool that will make sure that affiliates can easily identify all the legislative stakeholders with the click of a mouse,” said DC COPE co-chair Herbert Harris (BLET). “Being able to see all our representatives at the same time is so helpful in shaping our perspective on who the players are and who we need to hold accountable,” added Prince George’s and Montgomery County COPE co-chair Dyana Forester (UFCW 400). Metro Council Political and Legislative Director David Stephen, who manages the Guide, noted that he’s maintaining up-to-date contact information for the officials, which is available on an as-needed basis by contacting him directly: [email protected]

An enraged judge, scolding some of the more than twenty thousand immigrants, mostly young women in their teens and early twenties, who launched an eleven-week general strike in New York City’s shirtwaist industry on November 23, 1909. Dubbed the Uprising of the 20,000, it was the largest strike by women in American history. The young strikers’ courage, tenacity, and solidarity forced the predominantly male leadership in the “needle trades” and the American Federation of Labor to revise their entrenched prejudices against organizing women. Although the strikers won only a portion of their demands, the uprising sparked five years of revolt that transformed the garment industry into one of the best-organized trades in the United States. |
