Workers and their employer reached a deal that guarantees wage increases for nearly everyone in the union. The deal was negotiated in under a year, less time than most contracts typically take.

“You know, I felt that [the strike] wasn’t going to take that long because…we do move the city,” says one Circulator operator who has been driving for 13 years.

The $309 million, 15-year contract is the city’s first public-private partnership, which prompted a fierce lobbying battle ahead of Tuesday’s vote.

Proponents say the $309 million contract to upgrade D.C.’s streetlights will be a win-win, but critics say the proposed partnership with the private sector is riskier than advertised.

Applications for unemployment benefits from contractors and gig workers have ticked up in Maryland and Virginia in the past week.

It’s a cautionary tale in the hidden logistical hurdles of sites like GoFundMe.

The tentative contract gives D.C. Public Schools teachers a nine percent raise over three years.

School children may hate the idea, but D.C. public schools may soon face longer school days and school years.

Fears of a work stoppage at the D.C. area’s not-so-beloved electric utility appear to have been allayed, with the news that Pepco and the union that represents its workers have reached an agreement on a new contract.

There are over 70,000 streetlights in the District of Columbia, but right now, should any of those bulbs blow out, the city doesn’t have a contractor to come fix them.
