Low Wages, No Access to Health Care
Janitors are mostly Latino and often work in the obscurity of night servicing California's most prestigious corporations like Cisco Systems, Inc., but they earn wages so low that they struggle to provide adequate housing for their families and most do not have adequate healthcare for themselves or their families. Janitors have been negotiating a new contract for months.
