Janitors Rally Tomorrow

Over a thousand area janitors and labor activists are expected to converge on Northwest DC tomorrow for a 4P rally and march to demand new contracts for the region’s janitorial workforce. “In addition to improving healthcare and training for our members, we’re looking at some significant wage and benefit increases,” reports District Chair Jaime Contreras. With the December 27 contract deadline looming, more than 10,000 janitors in the District, Montgomery County, Northern Virginia and Baltimore – represented by SEIU 32BJ – are already mobilizing, Contreras tells UNION CITY.
