In response to the terrible offer received on Wednesday Janitors again took to the streets. The offer was a measly 10 cent raise in the suburbs and 15 cent raise in Boston!
What could you buy with 15 cents?
In 2002 janitors were forced to go on strike. They want to do it differently this year but to do that they need community support. The janitors are ready to do what it takes but they need you to stand with them. The contract expires on August 31st and your help is crucial. Here are a couple of things you can do to support economic justice for janitors:
Call the Maintenance Contractors of New England at 973-771-1771 and tell them that janitors need better wages, more hours, and family health insurance.
Or join one of the community delegations to visit building owners to urge them to tell the cleaning companies to do the right thing. To join call Jeremy at 617-878-7520 or email jshenk@seiu615.org.
Check back regularly and send an email to get on the email alert list for updates on all the actions coming up as the push to gain a fair contract for hardworking janitors heats up.
