Activists protest Miami Worldcenter project

Labor unions and community activists held a protest at Government Center on Thursday afternoon to demand the inclusion of certain community benefits, including local hiring and labor agreements, in the approval of a special taxing district for Miami Worldcenter developers. Sixteen protesters attempted a sit-in at the lobby outside commissioners’ offices for the six days leading up to Tuesday’s vote, but were escorted out of the building about two hours later.
