Last night’s protest: Section 8 workers rally against the Housing Authority

In June 2008, the Section 8 workers at the Housing Authority of Kansas City voted overwhelmingly to join the Service Employees International Union.

More than a year later, they still don’t have a contract.

Yesterday, Section 8 workers and supporters gathered outside the HAKC office, accusing the housing authority of bargaining in bad faith and using federal tax dollars to bust their union.
