Philadelphia’s Democratic mayoral nominee Cherelle Parker will join hundreds of the city’s cleaners, janitors and custodians for a march and rally in Center City Tuesday afternoon.
Service Employees International Union, Local 32BJ , which mainly represents building workers, such as janitors, custodians and window cleaners, is organizing the rally as they negotiate a new contract.
The rally is being organized by Service Employees International Union, Local 32BJ , a branch of Service Employees International Union which mainly represents building workers, such as janitors, custodians and window cleaners. The union features more than 175,000 members in 12 states and 20,000 in Pennsylvania.
"How do we expect to attract and retain tenants with dirty lobbies and buildings?" said Audra Traynham, 32BJ SEIU cleaner and Philadelphia Bargaining Committee Member."We can't revive Downtown if working people can't afford to buy food, much less support local businesses. My coworkers and I get lunch at the local restaurants. I buy groceries at the corner store on my way home from work.
