Houston Justice for Janitors Rally for Immigrant Rights

Participants of the National Conference for Immigrant and Refugee Rights will join a rally for janitors organized by the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Last year, the commercial office building janitors in Houston (mostly immigrants) won a strike and contract for better wages and access to healthcare. However, the 6th largest contractor in Houston, Professional Janitorial Services (PJS), has refused to sign this contract, and continues to oppose their immigrant workers organizing for a better life. The Wedge International Tower continues to contract with PJS in spite of workers and community leaders trying to persuade them not to do so. As such, this rally will raise the voices of immigrant workers rights and justice for the Houston janitors.
