The petition supporting Takoma Park city employees is having an effect, reports AFSCME 3399 shop steward Sean Hendley. "We've heard from an inside source that it reached the Mayor and she is putting pressure on the City Manager.” The workers plan to present the petition at the City Council meeting tonight (see Calendar). “Union members are planning to meet outside of the City Building around 6:30pm and go in as a group around 7pm,” says Hendley. “Supporters are welcome and encouraged to come!”
