Peter Angelos promised the temporary workers at Camden Yards that he'd make sure they'd get paid living wages. But when it came to bat, Angelos struck out.
Angelos says he's a friend of labor. But he's more a "Shoeless Joe" than a true friend, saying he's on labor's team when he's really playing for big business and baseball billionaires. A friend of labor doesn't stand by and let hard working folks get paid poverty-wages. And a friend of labor keeps his word to labor. Period.

* Who: United Workers Association, Casa de Maryland, Allied unions & friends
* What: Protest and rally to call foul on Angelos
* When: Friday June 17 at 6:30 PM (Union Night at Camden Yards)
* Where: Main Gate at Camden Yards (Eutaw St. entrance)
* Why: Angelos is breaking his promise to pay temporary stadium workers a living wage
There's a lot of back-breaking cleaning up to do during and after the game. Our tax dollars go towards paying to keep the stadium up and running, including clean-up. The Stadium Authority uses this money to pay contractors, who then pay other contractors, who then pay workers poverty-wages. The Authority's money goes to contractors - not workers - even though it would cost less to employ workers directly (even with living wages). Union busting cronyism and poverty-wages has no place in Baltimore.
