"Virginia Unions Divided Over Proposed Move for Capitals and Wizards Arena"
Labor unions in Virginia oppose the proposal to move the Washington Capitals and Wizards to Alexandria, citing concerns about labor protections and low-wage jobs. The proposal, backed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Monumental Sports & Entertainment, faces hurdles in the legislature, with several Democrats indicating they would vote against it if organized labor is opposed. The unions' opposition centers on labor protections for workers building the arena and surrounding private development, leading to intense negotiations and potential roadblocks for the $2 billion project.
