New York office cleaners are fighting for good jobs – jobs that provide a decent wage, health care and retirement security, jobs that give working families the opportunity for a brighter future. 32BJ members are among New York’s working families already struggling to get by. We can’t accept cuts to our pay and benefits that would make it that much harder to support our families.

Pledge your support to the office cleaners fighting for good jobs!
