GOVERNOR O'MALLEY PUBLICLY EXPRESSES SUPPORT FOR
THE CLEANERS AT MARYLAND STADIUM AUTHORITY FACILITIES
For immediate
release
Today Governor Martin O'Malley expressed his support for
living wages for cleaners at Maryland Stadium Authority sports
facilities. Speaking at an AFL-CIO event in Annapolis, MD,
the governor said that the Maryland Stadium Authority is not
exempt from the spirit of the state's living wage law.
"The governor is supporting living wages for the cleaners
at Camden Yards, and now we are waiting for the Maryland Stadium
Authority to act," said former cleaner and hunger striker
Carl Johnson.
" We'd prefer to work with the Maryland Stadium Authority
to avoid a confrontation over the location of the hunger strike,"
said former cleaner and hunger striker Carl Johnson. "But
instead of issuing a permit we've gotten more of the same.
We've gotten more delays, more broken promises and more passing
of the buck by Maryland Stadium Authority staff."
