(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

The action is part of a national effort to “fight back against demands by American Water to impose substantial takeaways in contract negotiations and threaten the job security of workers under local agreements,” reports the AFL-CIO, which is co-sponsoring the action with the Utility Workers Union of America and SEIU Local 32BJ.
