Big Actions from Annapolis to the District

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Mark your calendar now for two big don’t-miss actions coming up in the local labor scene. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day (this coming Monday) the Maryland State and District of Columbia AFL-CIO is planning a Rally for Jobs, Justice and Equality on Lawyers Mall in Annapolis, MD. Then, in early February, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is coming to DC featuring Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker as a keynote speaker. “Last year we made sure workers voices were heard against Governor Walker’s anti-worker legislation” said Metro Council President Jos Williams. “This February we’re going to show him the District continues to defend workers’ rights and that his anti-worker legislation is not welcome here.” CPAC is happening from February 9 to 11. Stay tuned for further details. - photo of May 9, 2011 rally in DC against Governor Walker by Adam Wright
