Police were called into a transit workers union meeting yesterday after WMATA attempted to block ATU 689 members from holding an informational meeting at the Four Mile bus garage in Arlington, VA. "Metro's attempt to intimidate and stop union membership from meeting is a direct reflection of the culture of intimidation that has led to so many of the employee-management issues," said ATU 689 president Jackie Jeter. No arrests were made, but the union denounced "Metro's failure to respect the law" and said it will be filing charges with the Department of Labor.
