Janitors - Day of Action


OUR American Dream Is Under Attack:

Janitors National Day of Action

Wednesday, September 28th
@ 11:30 am


555 Capitol Mall, Sacramento



Across the nation corporations are throwing people out of work—while cutting workers’ pay, benefits and even our freedom to form a union. Janitorial companies too are pushing for cuts to healthcare and wages, a heavier workload, and fewer hours.

Starting in September and continuing in 2012, more than 150,000 SEIU janitors and cleaners in 29 cities and counties across America will negotiate with our employers over pay, benefits, and working conditions—all of which will impact our communities.

The companies are rich and powerful. But by showing our unity, we’ll be more powerful. By standing together during a National Day of Action on September 28, we can show them that workers are serious about protecting what we have and winning more.
