“Workers at Major D.C. Concert Venues Launch Unionization Effort

There are more than 300 staff members aiming to unionize at the 9:30 Club, The Anthem, The Atlantis and Lincoln Theatre.

The union push comes as workers are pushing for higher wages, more consistent schedules and better work safety, as some workers can be asked to lift heavy materials and manage crowd surfers.”
