Couple of D.C. Wire items from Bill Turque: In a conflict growing out of a nasty interunion dispute, SEIU local files unfair labor practice charge against Hawk One Security, alleging that the DCPS contractor ‘has illegally surveilled, interrogated and suspended employees “who have participated in lawful union organizing activities to improve their working conditions.”‘
And Turque provides an update on DCPS enrollment numbers: The system project was 45,054; only 19,736 was thus far registered, though many wait till just before school starts. Notes spokeswoman Jennifer Calloway, ‘We are not concerned about current enrollment numbers….Compared to last year at this time, we have approximately 15,000 more students enrolled.’
