Four busloads of activists from United Food and Commercial Workers Local 21 stomped uninvited into the lobby of he Association of Washington Business lobby to seek support for ending business tax breaks to pay for the health care programs that face legislative funding cuts.
AWB President Don Brunell quietly met with the more than one hundred protesters who packed a bullhorn and made some noise. They asked for a sit-down talk with AWB to get its support for closing tax loopholes to pay for health programs.
“They delivered their message,” Brunell said after the union protesters left.
“We’re likely to see a lot more of this as budget cuts come clearly into focus,” a union spokesperson said.
