WASHINGTON - About 40 day labor cleaners and their supporters treated baseball fans to a "Sweatshop Carnival" protest at RFK Stadium in Washington DC on May 20. The workers, members of the United Workers Association, seek a living wage of $9.06 and the establishment of a workers cooperative through which to contract with Baltimore Orioles management for work.
