Janitors Win in Ohio!

“Thank You Local 26!” said the janitors in Cincinnati after they won their first-ever union contract with the help of janitors from the Twin Cities. Over the last 9 months, 11 janitors and staff from our Local have flown to cities in Ohio and Indiana to help organize non-union janitors (who used to make just $8.00 per hour with no health insurance) and give them hope that they could fight and win against big companies like ABM and Marsden.  As janitors in cities across the country win union contracts, it helps protect what we have won in the Twin Cities, and sets the stage for us to win even more in our next contract in 2009!
