Check out the story on Denver Post and Denverite!
After months of bargaining and a 100% unanimous vote to authorize a strike, the janitors won a four contract with cleaning companies on Saturday morning that includes:
- Historic wage increases of 16%-18% across the Denver Metro
- Protections against excessive workloads
- Workplace safety and harassment protections
- Protections for employer-paid health benefits
