Maria Ramirez and Norma Flieta were fired for not meeting production quotas in the laundry sort area at the Cintas plant at 6001 73rd St. west of Cicero, IL. They say the reason Cintas fired them was because of their national origin and that this was an unfair work assignment. Though the plant is not organized at the moment, UNITE HERE is organizing there. A protest action is shown in this video. (See http://www.uniformjustice.org/news/detail.php?news_id=1071 for more info.) Video is 4 minutes. Produced by Labor Beat. Labor Beat is a CAN TV Community Partner.
