“Dear PoPville,

Inspired by Crumbs & Whiskers’ organizing campaign, the workers of All Fired Up (the pottery painting studio in Cleveland Park) have signed cards to unionize with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Joint Board of Workers United. Since our owner declined to voluntarily recognize us we’re engaging the community to show that unionization is a positive, popular, and profitable move for the store.”

On April 6th I saw the check was deposited into a personal bank account. Someone had altered the payable from DC Treasurer to a personal name. Our bank is investigating and OTR notified, but now we’re subject to a late fee.”
