Fight Against Worker Abuse!
Protest Abuse Against UW Custodians!
Meet Tues. Jan 12 at 3:45PM
15th and Pacific
We will meet there, and march to Health Sciences to tell workers that we support them, and abusive managers that we will not stand for their abuse!
Worker abuse over the last several months has increased; 3 managers have been particularly bad--Andre Vasquez, Yang-Sook Choe, and Allegra Reynolds. At the end of the quarter, students and workers in solidarity delivered letters to these managers, demanding an end to the abuse and to policies by facility services that damage the health and safety of workers. We promised we would protest if they did not these demands; we are fulfilling this promise! These managers' actions are not only a clear violation of university workplace protocol, but are also violations of the American Disabilities Act, and Labor and Industries standards. It is clear that these managers have long and dirty records!
Their abuses include:
Know Your Rights! Flyer
It's been a little while since we have updated--but it is not for lack of activity! ABC Coalition is working hard, even over the summer; in particular, custodial staff have been working extra hard to stop shift changes, stop speed-ups, and continue solidarity across workplaces and shifts. Democracy Insurgent! and ABC Coalition worked with custodial staff to create the Know Your Rights pamphlet below. This pamphlet was created to help custodial staff fight back against management retaliation and unsafe working conditions, and also to let staff know what their protected rights are under federal and state labor law, and their contract.
