Downtown BID says union issue still under review

After union protesters broke up the Downtown D.C. BID’s annual meeting, Executive Director Richard Bradley said at Thursday morning’s media briefing the union’s request is still under review because of charges of intimidation.

At a vote on joining the AFL-CIO labor federation, some of the BID’s safety/hospitality and maintenance employees group known as SAMs said they felt pressured. The BID has requested a new vote be taken.
