Last Saturday(June 24), about ten DC activists travelled to Baltimore to help day laborers marching on the office of Peter Angelos. Angelos, the owner of the Baltimore Orioles, is paying day laborers at the Camden Yards stadium sweatshop wages.
Although they are theoretically paid $7 an hour, there is a mandatory $6 deduction for a 2 block bus ride that reduces it to an efective $5.80 an hour. In addition, people are being "asked" to eat their lunch in the bathroom!
This being so, day laborers mobilized and marched to Peter Angelo's office to demand better wages and conditions.
Here is an audio report form WSQT and DAWN on the DC participation in this march
