SEIU Cuts Deal With Mall Owners To Uplift Janitors

By Jesse Russell

Two of the largest mall owners in the country have formed a partnership with the Service Employees International Union. Simon Properties and Westfield Properties have joined with the union to help lift workers at their combined 373 malls into better paying jobs with decent benefits. The two companies have said they will support cleaning contractors that support this mission and provide higher wages as well as health benefits.

1. Good news!
This is why we need Labor Unions in this country. To make sure that all people have a shot at a better life. And don't forget to support our brothers and sisters in the USWA who are on strike against Goodyear. Help them out if possible.
