Carlyle Told to "Stop Dunkin Workers’ Rights"

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Dozens of labor activists picketed outside the headquarters of the Carlyle Group in downtown DC Wednesday to protest the company’s abuse of No-Match Letters and the faulty Social Security database, E-Verify, to target workers at its subsidiary Dunkin Brands (Carlyle Group Picketed Today 4/23/08 UC). Protestors chanted “Dunkin Brands, what do you say? No-Match Letters gotta go away” and “Hey hey, ho ho, E-Verify has got to go” and handed out flyers to passing tourists and lunch-goers. Similar pickets were also held Wednesday at Dunkin’ Brands and Carlyle Group offices in New York, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Los Angeles at Dunkin’ Brands.
