2011: A Year of Hope in Retail Cleaning

“I’ve worked at many cleaning companies over the years and I’ve always found miserable wages and working conditions. I’m tired of changing companies; I have decided to change the company where I work,” Lucila Dominguez, member of CTUL.

Last year we posted a reflection on 2010 as a year of struggle – 2010 marked both the beginning of a worker-led movement for justice in retail cleaning, and another year of exploitation in in the industry.

Members of CTUL are calling 2011 a “Year of Hope” – a year in which workers recovered tens of thousands of dollars unpaid wages, laid out a path for fair wages and working conditions in retail cleaning, and won the 2011 Progressive Leadership Award from Take Action.  Click here for our reflection on 2011.  And click here to make a donation to CTUL so that together we can make 2012 a “Year of Change”
