New video shows cost of privatization at Circulator

After launching DDOTCanDoBetter.com last week to educate the riding public about safety and labor issues at the D.C. Circulator, ATU Local 1764 has also launched a new Twitter account (@DDOTCanDoBetter), a petition to DDOT for supporters to sign, and has released a powerful new video in collaboration with the Washington Interfaith Network exploring the link between private companies exploiting skilled workers who used to earn a living wage as public employees who are now struggling to survive working for private for-profit contractors. With DDOT preparing to roll out its cherry blossom-themed bus, the union is urging activists to take to Twitter with the hashtags #blossumbus and #DDOTCanDoBetter to oppose privatization.
