Interesting how this article quotes the Monumental Sports and JPG Smith joint statement, as well as Youngkin’s statement, but not the labor union

I was about to post this very topic/question here yesterday…I believe Cap One food workers are Unite Here, building/Monument workers might be as well. I wasn’t sure if the move to PY was into a non-union environment (mandatory or not).
It’s a very important aspect, both financially for Ted/Monument/Investors (potential significant labor savings if the new space is non-union) but also politically as this article clearly indicates.
An angle I hadn’t initially thought of, very impactful. DC might require union contracts when receiving government funds like many other cities/states, I’m pretty sure VA does not.

Y’all….this arena is happening. Ted just has to buy everyone off.

Union leader to Ted: “The die is wrong, bitch.”

I laugh at you clowns who legitimately think the union is going to prevent this from happening. This is the name of the game. All the Hands will be greased. These Unions are more corrupt than politicians.

Leonsis is gonna say fuck this and take both teams to KC, and DC will be without a hockey *or* a basketball team.

I think Yougkin is getting dragged by the Dems in Richmond they won’t give him a win. DC is going to contribute 600 mill hire more cops and the team is going to stay in the city.

Ted should really just stay put and take whatever he can get from Bowser for some upgrades to Capital One arena
