Keep Wings Off The African American Museum
Today, dozens of members from the Justice at Wings Coalition - a coalition of faith, labor, civil and human rights organizations fighting to protect the labor rights of iron workers at Wings Enterprises – gathered across the main offices of the Smithsonian Institution...
Justice at Wings at the Smithsonian
The Justice at Wings coalition needs your support Thursday, August 2nd at 8am. They are targeting the Smithsonian Institution for not standing up for workers. The Coalition knows that Wings Enterprises is trying to work at the African American Museum project. The Coalition approached the Smithsonian and provided them with the binder of evidence showing that Wings has a history of labor and OSHA violations. Their response was simple: we are leaving everything up to our general contractors Clark/Smoot/Russell. This response is unacceptable; indeed, very disappointing.
