Support these workers!
This is a message from the director of the Workplace Project

We ask that you support this campaign and spread the
word! Many of the workers who work for Mayco cleaning
the Newsday building are immigrant workers and some
are Workplace Project members as well as being active
members of SEIU 32BJ. Mayco has had them working for
months without a contract and is now threatening to
fire them for their collective action.
